Dentist, Implantology,  's  Response
Thank you for your query,

First thing first, please do not try this again.
The white area around your tooth is due to excessive force used during failed extraction, the red area is the inflammation of the gums around that area.
There is severe insult to the gum tissue.
I would suggest you to take antibiotic as Amoxylline 625 mg thrice daily for 5 days along with Metrogyl 400 mg thrice daily for 5 days and any available analgesic accordingly.
The gums will heal according to the amount of trauma they underwent, so keep finger cross.
