Answer 1

Its normal! It may even turn gray. Just be sure to keep it clean by rinsing your mouth every so often.

Answer 2

It's normal for it to be sore for a few days but if it continues I would call the dentist back on Monday and be evaluated. Not sure what the white spot is. Keep doing the salt water and try to keep food out of the hole.

Answer 3

the white you are seeing may be a packing they put in after your tooth was extracted,,, pain is ok as long as not too bad, don't swish your mouth too hard with the water you don't want to get a dry socket, if your not feeling better in a couple days go back to see your dentist

Answer 4

Check with the dentist who pulled your tooth. It sounds like you may have some infection in the gum. Normally, extracted teeth don't produce pain afterward, so don't let it go too long.

Answer 5

The white is a scab. You could try a warm salt water rinse.

Answer 6

I would say It's just bad circulation of blood, unless you're seeing a new tooth grow.

Answer 7

Its normal, just make sure to continue to keep it clean.

Answer 8

sounds like it could be a dry socket

Answer 9

THIS IS NORMAL. DO NOT ACIDIC OR LEMONY FOODS. YOU WILL BEOK! =O)
