My Daughter Is 4 And Had To Get A Baby Tooth Pulled. There Is White Soft Stuff In That Hole. Is This Normal? She Isnt Complaining Of Pain But We Have Brushed Her Teeth And Rinsed But It Doesnt Come Out. I Just Want To Make Sure Its Not An Infection And Its Okay. Ive Never Had Teeth Pulled Or My Son So This Is New To me.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, When a tooth is pulled out from the socket, bleeding follows. Initially the socket is filled with blood and there is hematoma formation. Hematoma is a soft mass formed by clotted blood. This is followed by healing process and the hematoma is replaced by soft tissue of the gums. Infection can follow as blood is a good media for proliferation of bacteria. It will be good if you see a dentist to rule out infection. In the meanwhile saline gargles should be done, and regular brushing should be done. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
