Wisdom tooth extraction
Dear Sir, I have extracted my wisdom tooth on Thursday. Doctor said there is some water cyst in the wisdom tooth and he extracted that as well. I have given pain killers and anti biotic for 3 days. Blood clotted within 2 hours of total extraction. Pain is bearable with medications. Now I see a white patch kind of thing formed around the extracted area. Went back dentist he said it's normal and extraction was little complicated healing wil take time. It is tissue cut healing process and it's normal. Regarding pain it comes till now it is there when I delay the medicine. Please find my x-rays and picture of extracted area and advise if it is ok.

It's lastly a normal post extraction discomfort. Just follow your dentist instructions and medicines regularly. Take lukewarm water, add pinch of salt and rinse with that post meals for 1 week. You will soon start feeling better
