A member asked:
I had no.19 tooth pulled 2days ago. it formed red clot & now it looks like it has a white film over it. is that normal? slight pain, but not major.

Wound healing: Whiteish covering that forms in following days is part of normal healing. Again, indication of minimal pain is also indication of successful healing. Warm salt water rinse two to three times a day will speed up healing
