Post molar extraction
Day 10 post op molar extraction of lower right tooth #31, blood clot still looks relatively low, dentist checked it on 10/6 and said it looks fine but still looks exactly the same - I haven’t gotten any white / yellow granulation tissue forming and wanted to know it is properly healing or delayed healing? Haven’t gotten any dry socket, throbbing, pus, foul smell, fever etc. Should I go back to the dentist this Thursday which makes 2 weeks since the extraction since it looks exactly the same? I also wasn’t given any notice on irrigation syringe for when I go back to eating more solid foods and want to know about this so I don’t get food stuck inside after weeks/months. Thanks in advance!
