Wisdom Teeth Extraction - I Had My Wisdom Teeth Removed About A

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Asked for Female, 17 Years

I had my wisdom teeth removed about a week ago and now there’s something sticking out of one of the sockets. i’ve tried brushing gently and salt water rinses and nothing is working. i got a close up picture and it looks like some kind of string or something? i don’t know, but i’m very concerned and my dentist is pretty far away. i don’t want to go all the way out there if it’s nothing.

If it is greyish in color then it is slough which is a normal healing process. Do not try to brush it off as you may injure the area. But a check up is required to rule out anything else
