I had a back wisdom tooth removed yesterday. Now theres like a white film over the gum and around one of the stitches. Ive been tacking an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory, I brush my teeth very gentle and today I gargle with tepid water with salt. I have been eating puree and ice cream, and avoid to chew. Its only bothering me, it doesnt really hurt. So should I be worried? Is the white film normal?
HiT hanks for writing in. I would like to tell you that white film over gum is granulation tissue & its normal during healing process.It's nothing to worry about. Continue with your medication. Do warm saline rinses 3 times a day. Visit your dentist after a week for suture removal. Take Disregards Chat Doctor.
