🦷 What Does a Normal Tooth Extraction Socket Look Like?

Описание: After a tooth extraction, it’s very common to look in the mirror and wonder, “Is this healing normally?” Most of the time, the answer is yes.

Here’s what normal healing often looks like:
✔️ A dark blood clot in the socket at first
✔️ The area may appear red, pink, or white as new tissue forms
✔️ Mild swelling, tenderness, and slight soreness are expected

These are all part of your body’s natural healing process.

🚨 When to contact your dentist:
If you notice:
❌ Severe or worsening pain
❌ A bad smell or taste
❌ Pus or drainage
❌ Increasing swelling

These could be signs of dry socket or infection and should be checked promptly.

If you’re ever unsure whether your healing looks normal, it’s always okay to ask.
