The ones that were pulled don't hurt now at all but the one that was impacted still hurts and the stiches are annoying. It's a numbing pain no bad breath or bad taste really. Think this could be dry socket under the stiches? I followed everything the dentist told me to do.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('277','Robert'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('277','Robert','I had 4 wisdom teeth removed about a week ago. 3 pulled 1 cut.

I have just had a Molar out today but last year I had to others out and the area was white and scaly. Later it had a weird white 'discharge' on it but this is just the natural process it goes through. You can expect a weird taste and the gum to change colour as it starts to purify. And Kyle, referring back to my removals last year, one of my teeth was broken down to the gum. When they removed it there were a few fragments l;eft int he gum which, over a few months, the body pushed out and they were swallowed without my realising it! So you may have a few bits of tooth in your gum but don't worry, the gums will push it out as it seals over the hole and the bone nits.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('226','Ryan'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('226','Ryan','Erica, that is fine.\r\nI have just had a Molar out today but last year I had to others out and the area was white and scaly.

It occurs when the blood doesn't clot properly after an extraction. The hole then dries out leaving everything exposed, which is why cold air and liquids hurt so much. A temporary relief can be gained by putting a piece of cotton soaked in clove oil over the opening until you get to the dentist. He/she will then have to go back into the open cavity to make it bleed and to try to make it clot again. Hope this was helpful- get well!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('171','toothfairy'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('171','toothfairy','<a href=\'#comment-123\' rel=\"nofollow\">@Lino machombe<\/a> - \r\n\r\nLino, it sounds like you might have what is called a dry socket.
