Is this Healing Right or not? super scared

[cnhand84]

Had my tooth pulled Monday, bottom first molar.

I have no idea what is considered normal healing and what isn't.

Is it normal for it to still have a few streaks of fresh blood, like as I woke up this morning? Coming from the clot?

And, is it normal to have alot of white gooey stuff covering it? almost reminds me of snot but white. Sometimes it comes off than reappears.

I have no idea really what to expect. Scared of infection and dry socket of course. I have bad anxiety!

Hi cnhand84,

bleeding and white stuff sound both normal and if your pain doesn't get worse then your are healing fine. Here is a link about healing from our faq:

It was really fast. My dentistt did take her time though and do it in stages. Like had me breathe in, pulled the tooth upward. I was unsure if was normal but the pressure almost feels like a pinching sensation I guess so be aware of that!

I also had 6 wisdom teeth removed when I was younger (my sister also had that many and my nephew) genetics I guess!

I had a wisdom pulled 3 weeks ago and the nurse had to
hold my head why she pulled it took about ten mins tbh I was traumatised im
just worried this would happen again ! Do you think this was because it was a wisdom
