Hello. Ive had 3 wisdom teeth removed 3 days ago, and while I was eating jello this morning, I thought I had some jello stuck near the place of extraction (bottom right). I didnt want to move it because I was afraid, but upon looking at it in the mirror, its a black/pinkish lump attached to my gum, and it appears to be the size of a tooth. Its soft and jelly like. It doesnt bother me, and it doesnt give me pain. Im just wondering what could it be?
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, Read your query, as you have undergone extraction 3 days ago there is blood clot formation on extraction socket which you feel like pinkish lump, don't be worried so much if you have food stuck between lump and teeth you do saline rinses it will be removed and disturb the clot.  If you feel pain or food stuck won't removed consult your dentist and go for examination of socket and removal of food debris. Follow all post-operative instruction given by your dentist, take proper course of antibiotics. Hope it will help you.  Wishing you good health.
