A member asked:
Is a bubble over tooth extraction site normal?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It is normal: Your blood pocket (bubble ) is normal, please leave it be. Disturbance of this clot can lead to increased bleeding or the loss of the blood clot and dry socket. Take care.

No: Bone may be infected. See the surgeon that did the extraction. You may need incision and drainage and/or antibiotics. May also be problem w adjacent tooth.
