Tooth extraction, white stuff?

[kbkasey]

I had 2 molars removed on Tuesday, it's now Thursday and one of the bottom Molars have some white stuff around it. I haven't been able to brush around the area because i'm too scared that it will make the clot fall out.. I have been able to use salt water, and I have a terrible taste in my mouth. A foul taste.

Thanks

Best regards

It's called granulation tissue and it's perfectly normal. Go ahead and brush your teeth, you can't hurt anything, that'll help with the bad taste.

That`s fine. You will see it on the gum and around the area where you cannot brush your teeth.

It`s dried blood or a new tissue is forming.

Actually a week or so after the extraction 2 of them fell out when I was rinsing my mouth with salt water very gently.

It`s protecting the area.
It`s ok.

Do you feel any pain?
If there is a foul taste and pain it might be infected or got dry socket.
If no pain you shouldn`t worry
