What Causes White Blister On The Gum After Tooth Extraction?

Hi. I recently got an extraction on my one my teeth and now have a white blister on my gums. I feel no pain but slightly tenders. They were supposed to do an implant but I had an infection. I just finished my medication today and am still using a medical mouthwash. Should I be concerned about this white blister or is it normal?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have abdominal bloating in a heart patient. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like gingivitis ,abscess or infection , but in your case the symptoms are probably due to formation of dry socket . Dry socket is the most common complication following tooth extractions . I would suggest you to consult dentist for proper examination and rule out other causes . Doctor may irrigate the socket for 3-4 days regularly and may prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory . For now do not spit , swish or rinse forcefully so that clot will not dislodge . For now maintain proper oral hygiene and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
