He mentioned it was scare tissue and possible fat. he said this was a spot that when he closed the area, my gums did not quite meet.

does this sound logical?

He may be referring to granulation tissue. That frequently forms at the site of a surgical wound. If it continues to grow there, it may have to be removed because it will cause a deep pocket. That's why he is suggesting you use various forms of cleaning methods to reduce the formation of the granulation tissue. Makes perfect sense!

thank you so much for all of your responses Bryanna, it really helped put my mind at ease with all of the doubts i had about having the surgery in the first place. it's nice to have a second mind to pick on such matters.

happy holidays to you and your loved ones!

Hi Bryanna,

I'm 3 weeks into my tooth extraction/bone graft. I just noticed today that there appears to be the same white soft material visible that p_v13 mentioned, however for me it's not coming out, it's just kinda hanging there inside the socket, but extremely visible. Could this be the plug you mentioned? It's very very soft, almost squishy. Otherwise though, my gums feel really good, and look to have a good color as well. No signs of swelling, and no real pain to speak of either. I'm just scared of what it means if it does fall out. Do I worry about the plug coming out?

Sorry for all the questions

Hi nienna,

The "plug" is a collagen membrane and that has already been absorbed.

White stuff inside of the socket could be new tissue growth, food debris or plaque. If you are doing well in general, just keep rinsing with warm salt water until the site closes over. A pinch of salt in a cup of warm water 3 times a day is adequate.

Thanks so much Bryanna

When I woke up this morning, a little bit of it did come out. I honestly couldn't tell what it was, especially since I did eat white noodles the night before, it is entirely possible that it's simply food debris LOL!!

It does appear to look to healthy and healing, I was more worried that my gums were maybe receding too much, causing bits to fall out. It's so hard to tell when you know so little about it

Bryanna (or anyone who knows),
I had oral surgery 9 days ago. Got #30 extracted and was supposed to get an implant, but the bone wasn't sufficient enough apparently so he did a bone graft and I will have to go back in 3 months for actual implant.
I also just noticed some white stuff around the area. It appears that what the member said above about it being tissue from where the gums didn't come together could be it but just want to make sure. It looks like it was between where the stitches were. I still have to take 800mg Ibuprofin (not taking any opiates) every 5-6 hrs but seems to be getting a little better. Just wanted to see if this is the norm or what. I see the doc again in a week and will ask him too.
Thank you

Hi Rick,

Thanks for posting the picture!

The photo is a bit blurry but I can see the "white" areas of gum tissue. The white appears to be rather thick or lumpy in consistency. Is it actually gum tissue or accumulation of plaque? Can you gently remove it with a slightly moist q-tip? Or does the white substance seem to be coming from inside of the socket like pus would? I can also see that there is quite a bit of dark red inflammation along the lingual (tongue side) of the ridge that travels down toward the floor of your mouth. By any chance was the extracted tooth previously root canaled?

What are rinsing with and how often? Are you sticking to a soft food diet or eating regular food? Are you avoiding chewing on that side of your mouth?

Bryanna
