A member asked:
It's now 8 days since i've gotten my wisdom teeth out. i just rinsed my mouth like usual and the saliva was spotted with blood... what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal: You may notice a pink tinge to your saliva for several days following surgery, but 8 days is not normal. If at any time after the wisdom teeth surgery you experience something you think is not part of a normal post-surgical recovery, or if you have concerns, call your surgeon and he/she will be glad to assist you. Take care.
