A member asked:
It's been 5 days since my wisdom teeth surgery. i can finally see the holes, they have the blood clot but also white stuff. is it food?? i clean them.

Ext socket: It could be food or normal healing tissue. As long as there is no pain or swelling it should heal on its own uneventfully. Rinse out as well as you can and don't be concerned. Your dentist should see you for a follow up visit to check on healing.
