What Causes A White Colored Skin After Molar Extraction?
I has a bottom molar extracted a week ago as of today. Tonight I noticed I had something white in the area that would not come out when rinsing with salt water. I thought it was food from the sandwich I ate and gently removed it. Now I'm not so sure it was food! Is this bad?

Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM,
Read your query as you have undergone extraction of molar tooth this white colored skin you have noticed can be food debris or it cacane raised flap of gingiva you have noticed .
I will suggest you to consult your dentist for examination of oral cavity and inmeantime do maintain proper oral hygiene and do warm saline rinses .
Hope this will help you.
