[|Human|] Hi, I am having problems with a upper tooth that I had removed 4 weeks ago. It all started when my tooth was damaged through a basic root canal treatment. I was referred to a specialist and 9 months later I was told it would have to be extracted, meanwhile I had faced a number of infections and 2 courses of antibiotics. At the time of the extraction the root was infected. After the extraction, dissolvable stitches were put in place as I was flying overseas and the sinus was exposed. Now, 4 weeks later, my dossolvable stitches are still in place and seem to be surrounded by a white gooey substance. When I touch with a Q tip the white substance moves about, attached to the stitches and is adding to some slight irritation of that area. Is this normal? Thanks!
[|AI|]  Hellooo...read through your query....I must say that as far as u don't have any pain or problem with that area its healing normally....if any pain is there then u should suspect something abnormal...the stitch will resort in few weeks along with the socket.so don't worry .yellowish thing will be the clot and other cells working for healing....and I must say that don't touch that area with anything(brush, finger,pin, toothpick etc.).your hampering the healing process...don't bite that with that area... Chat Doctor. .don't spit hard...it can dislodge clot and hamper healing...do salt water gargle as many times as possible.....follow all this and be happy...stress-free and cool that can heal anything...hope your benefitted something with this reply.have a healthy day!!!
