Molar bone graft failure?
Hi,
I just had a molar and wisdom tooth extraction last week, followed by a bone graft the same day. It was all good until just a couple of hours ago when I noticed there's some white hanging tissue there (it's the upper right tooth). It doesn't hurt at all, but I have no idea what it is. It looks kind of like a popped blister? I didn't feel any weird taste or fragments from the bone graft material either.
I'm really worried the graft might have failed and I couldn't find any similar posts around so I have no idea what it is. I have an appointment tomorrow morning with the dentist that we scheduled last week, but meanwhile I'm pretty freaked out.
My right ear is clogged, but don't think it can be related, it has been like that all week, assuming it's just until the extraction place heals, it's probably swollen?
Also, I've been using cholrhexidine gluconate with a syringe to keep the area clean - maybe I applied too much pressure last time I used it?
