Why does flesh from gum come out after tooth extraction?

Loose tissue: May just be working its way out of the socket. Very common for bone fragments to do this too.

Attachment: The gum is also attached to the tooth and no matter how careful the clinician is, some gum tissue may come out with the extracted tooth.
