What Causes Bubble From The Gum After Tooth Extraction?

Hello I have had all my upper teeth removed today, There seems to be a bubble coming out of the extraction site, It doesn t hurt and I can see a dentist tomorrow but is this something normal or should be worried about? rest of the extraction site looks raw but ok. Thank you.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that a bubble coming up from the extraction site can be a pus pocket due to infection in the area of extraction while can also be due to blood blister or HEMATOMA formation..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray to check for any remaining root pieces has to be done to rule out the cause and treatment will be done accordingly..

As of now you should do warm saline gargles..
Take a soft diet..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
