What Causes White Charge From A Tooth Extraction Site In Upper Jaw?
I have a white discharge from my upper jaw where I had teeth removed 7 months ago. At times it tastes very sour, other times the area seems to deflate and my mouth ends up with about 3ccs of liquid white as the tissue suddenly softens. Any ideas about what it is and how serious it might be?

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
According to your clinical symptoms i suppose that you are having pus formation at the extraction site this could be due to recent infection or any left over tooth particle in the socket at the time of extraction, to get a clear idea i would suggest you to get an x-ray done of the region. Also take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take care!
