Any pain?: the real concern is whether any discomfort or pain is associated with the clot. If there is no discomfort or pain , most likely normal healing will occur. I do not know what the white substance is. Perhaps food debris, perhaps some yeast.

1st and 2nd molar removed yesterday. Started rinsing today ,tonight doesn't look like blood clot is in one of extraction sites. Looks whitish grey.

I've lost the blood clot on my molar less than 24 hours after extraction. Will I now definitely get dry socket? The pain is only slightly worse now.

About 22 hours ago I had a lower molar pulled (#30), this morning I've noticed that the blood clot looks smaller and there is some white/yellowish stuff around the inside of the extraction. I heard this could be granulation tissue, but would it form this
