White Tissue In Extraction Site- Seems Loose
I had my lower back molar extracted on Monday at noon. There was a white mucusy looking lump that formed in the socket, that now feels loose- I've been at work all day today (and therefore talking a lot) and I'm worried that I might have done something bad that loosened it--- From what I've read, this white junk that was in the socket is important to healing, but eventually will go away... I just can't find anything saying how long it's supposed to be there for and if it is cause for concern if it is loose- I can feel it moving in the socket every so often... sound gross, I know, but I'm worried. Terrified of dry socket- and hoping that everything is healing OK. :eek:
Please let me know how this sounds... am I doomed to more pain, or is this normal?
