A member asked:

What should the color of a healing tooth extraction blood clot look like, i got my tooth extracted 2 days ago and it's a white an yellow color?

White is normal: in the mouth a healing cut or sore will be white. A similar scab on the skin would be a dark red to black. What you describe is normal healing. Do not disturb the extraction site.

Speak with dentist: If you have any concerns, see the dentist that performed the extraction. It probably is healing fine. Speak to the dentist and see if an antibiotic is in order.
