What could a greyish white film with red dot post a molar extraction be?
Patient: Hello, I had a molar extraction in my upper right side on Tuesday of last week.  On Friday, I went back because I had a dry socket and was inserted a gauze with anesthesia.  Today I had to go back and get the gauze removed- the assistant scraped the top part of the extraction site to make it bleed again (it was the most painful experience), it bled, and was rinsed and cleaned out, inspected by the dentist, and I was sent home.  Now, in the evening, I have a grayish, white-ish film in the extraction site and a dark red dot or hole right next to it.  Is this normal? Please advise. Doctor: Thanks for using Health care magic.Read your query.It can be the healing site after applying medication to the socket.Take the antiobiotic as your dentist has prescribed for you.If You smoke avoid it as it will prevent healing.Don't carry on vigorous forceful gargling . Do warm saline gargling.If the pain is persistent or the swelling is increasing ,consult back to your dentist.Hope this was helpful.Thanks and warm regards.
