1day post extraction

Asked Jun 5, 2012, 07:09 AM — 4 Answers
Had 2 teeth pulled that were under a permanent bridge that fell off. Right lower molar, 1suture, other site none. What should the site look like today? The socket looks white not red like a clot. It has not been 24 hours yet so I haven't rinsed yet

The person to ask is your Dentist - it is both foolish and dangerous to seek medical advice over the Internet.

Lighten up, I realize medical advice online is not the answer! Just looking for some insight from someone that has been there.

I'm as light as it gets - if you weren't looking for information on how the site should look I don't know why you posted but -

No, I can't say I've had 2 teeth pulled, a permanent bridge that fell off, work on a right lower molar, 1 suture, other site none (whatever that means), 24 hours ago.

Have I had a dry socket? Yes. Should I have called the Dentist immediately? Yes. Did I? No. Did I learn from the experience? Yes.

I have had two or three teeth pulled at a time several time, Can tell you about 12 I got pulled at one time once. White or red can be normal, the absence of anything is the real concern. But most dental offices don't mind a person calling, did they not give you a follow up sheet with rules to take home
