Wisdom tooth removal healing question

[Meme]

Hi. I had them removed a week ago, I just finished my antibotics, but I notice some possible pus at an incision site.should I remove it with a qtip and rinse it w salt water? Im not sure if its food or not. It slightly hurts and it feels hard. Than you.

Hi meme, it's unlikely to be pus - More likely to be the whitish appearance of the gum as it is beginning to heal over the site.

Don't touch it with a qtip - you may upset the soft, healing tissue.
Continue with the mouthwashes, and if you have any concerns ask your dentist to have a look for you.

Hope this helps,

Barry

It will hurt slightly but it will be ok after few days. So, do not try to remove it with qtip. Do not try anything on your own without consulting it with your dentist. Just do regular brushing. It will be fine.
