Hi,

So I had a tooth extracted last Friday and I've had tones of problems. Ended up with dry socket but that another problem.

Well the tooth has stopped hurting as much but when I looked today I saw this in the hole. Is this normal?

Picture is attached, scroll past if you don't want to see!

Looks just like a bit of food stuck to me

Thanks for that! So I'm trying to get the food out and it won't come out, will that be a problem or will it come out on its own?

@Holly2213 do you maybe have a toothpick or something similar that you could use to scoop it out?

Looks more like granulation tissue to me. Leave it alone.
