Can blood clots be white in reference to wisdom tooth extraction socket?
Yes, clots can be white in color. After a tooth is extracted, the tooth socket fills with blood and a clot forms. Just like any wound heals with a "scab" if you will. A blood clot has several components (ingredients) in it. The red blood cells tend to wash away in the mouth, with post-extraction care like rinsing. What remains is the fibrin part of the clot, which appears "white" in the mouth.

Should there be a white spot when site is healing after tooth extraction?
Yes. It is completely normal. I had a tooth removed a few days ago and this white spot has appeared. You'll probably notice the day after your extraction that you have a red blood clot where your tooth was. The following days that blood clot will turn to a white/gray spot. This is your mouth healing itself. Completely normal. Don't worry, and don't remove it! You could get a dry socket and you definitely don't want that!
Why cant you rinse with salt water for the first 24 hours after a tooth extraction?
