After tooth extraction, if the tooth socket is white the next day, then we think it is normal. The next day after tooth extraction, there may be a layer of white or pale yellow pseudo-membrane covering the tooth extraction wound, which is a normal healing phenomenon, do not deal with it. Some patients may think it is infected tissue, or necrotic tissue, or think it may be food impaction, so they will use toothpicks or cotton swabs to pick. It is recommended not to pick this white pseudo-membrane. If you pick it, it may lead to pain, bleeding, and ulcers. Not only can it not promote the healing of tooth extraction wounds, but it may lead to infection of tooth extraction wounds.
