After you have your wisdom teeth pulled is it normal for something white to be in the hole?

Yes, what you are seeing is blood clot and it is a part of the normal healing process. There should be no reason to worry as long as the clot remains intact. Here are a few steps you can take to manage the healing process:

>Avoid disturbing the clot for at least 24 hours.

>Do not brush or rinse your mouth vigorously.

>Use warm salt water to gently rinse your mouth after 24 hours.

>Eat a soft diet and avoid crunchy or hard foods that could damage the clot.

>Take pain medication as prescribed by your doctor.

>Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your dentist or oral surgeon.

If the clot comes out or if you experience severe pain, swelling, or fever, contact your doctor or oral surgeon immediately.
