Go back to dentist: This may be thrush secondary to the antibiotics you were given. Without seeing this impossible to diagnose, but the dentist who extracted your wisdom tooth will know and be able to advise. Good luck and best wishes.

Normak: If you aren’t experiencing significant discomfort, give it another week and it will most likely go away and heal just fine. Best of luck :)
