Suggest Remedy For Blister Inside The Socket

Coming up to three weeks ago I had my tooth extracted, I then developed dry socket and the pain stopped, In the last couple of days what looks like a blister has formed inside the socket, but it is not painful, should I be worried? What could be causing this?

Hello,
Continue to rinse the area well and practice good daily oral hygiene. The tissue can go through various changes during healing. I suspect, especially with your initial difficulty with healing, that you have some granulomous tissue which could be curettaged out by your dentist. This will assist healing and replace this tissue with healthy tissue.
Try to massage the tissue, rinse with warm salt water and if much more sensitive, I suggest scheduling another follow up dental visit . Otherwise, make sure to have your routine dental exam and bring the area to the attention of your dentist for further diagnosis and treatment recommendation.
I hope my suggestions are useful. Thank you for your inquiry.
