Question 1

what is the white stuff in the tooth extraction site 2 weeks after extraction? is this a normal part of healing?

See your dentist: Tooth extraction is a surgical procedure and is not completely risk-free. Pain, swelling and infection following surgery is usually at its worst 24 – 48 hours after surgery. After that it should subside more and more every day and after 7 days stop. Your symptoms could be a serous problem. See your dentist or an oral surgeon for post-op appointment and treatment.

Question 5

what could cause pulsating in tooth extraction socket 3wks after extracted. it happens when i bend over, jump, hr gets ^, etc. 
normal healing?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: It probably also occurs when you lie down. The pulsating is the blood flow through the area as your heart beats. When the blood pressure in that area changes (like when bending over, lying down, jumping around) you'll feel it.

Question 6

is it normal that my gum feels itchy after a tooth extraction?its been a week now (2nd molar). ive had itching on and off and assumed its healing?

Accepted Answer

Appears Normal: People heal differently, and depending on the difficulty of the extraction, it can take up to two weeks for the gingiva to close over the socket. Do you have sutures? After a week the sutures can be saturated with bacteria and that can certainly cause the area to feel "itchy". If you have no real pain or swelling, you should be fine.

Question 7

i went to my dentist because i felt a bony lump on my cheek after having a wisdom tooth extraction. he said that this is normal healing. is this true?

Accepted Answer

You have to: believe what your doctor told you , wait few more days for the swelling to go dow, and go for a follow up visit.  IF you are not satisfied look for  a second  opinion , even your own doctor will help to get one if you want it.
