Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / March 20078-days postextraction of third molar: grey is visible thru small opening
Occasional stinging in jaw, otherwise no pain. The grey portion is not motile.. (Still gently irrigating pocket with a curved syringe, the grey does not move) Is this a portion of exposed bone...(extraction required additional anesthetic, which in some studies is a predictor of dry socket, thx. ) >Occasional stinging in jaw, otherwise no pain.

Same thing as a scab except the red blood cells have washed out. Gentle irrigation is all that is needed. |
