Question:
Dental help required?
ok to sum it all up i just had a tooth extreacted yesterday, and i am in the process of recovering. However, it keeps bleeding a lot ( i am almost runnig out of those guaze thingies that the dentist gives you).... to make things worse, this black skin kinda thingy keeps forming over the area where the tooth used to be(the one that got taken out) and i keep peeling it off cuz one it tastes worse than shi t and it keeps spreading to neighboring teeth.....is this normal?
Answers:
That 'black skin' is the 'scab' trying to form, and your continually taking if off is why you are bleeding so much. I know that it 'tastes bad' but that would 'go away' if you would just leave it alone and let it 'solidify' (it won't get 'totally dry' the way a scab on your knee or elbow would, though) ... and it is 'spreading' because your 'bleeding' is 'heavy' because you keep 'picking at it. So STOP PICKING IT OFF and wash your mouth frequently with 'lukewarm water' to keep the 'bad taste' out of your mouth.
