What should a good blood clot look like 5 days after a tooth extraction? I had a lower taken out (number 31).
There's some whitish substance in the socket. But I don't think it's healing properly. I still can't eat anything solid...because scooping out food particles with a Q-tip is not pleasant. Plus, it still hurts.
I don't want to have to go back to the dentist for yet another procedure (I can't afford it). The extraction site stings quite a bit.
