What happens if you rinsed and had warm soup after tooth extraction?
Tooth extraction leaves a gaping hole in the gum and jawbone structure. The extraction results in bleeding which needs to be prevented. The natural clotting system creates a blood clot in the socket where the tooth was removed, and thus stops the bleeding. Rinsing too soon can dislodge and remove the clot resulting in more bleeding, which can cause stomach upset, and if uncontrolled, loss of too much blood which could be dangerous. It also exposes the wound to possible infection. It is best to follow the instruction "not to rinse" to prevent complications which could be dangerous and expensive to correct. The "no rinse" rule should be included on a standard patient instruction sheet that you get following a tooth extraction. There will be a number of important things on there, like "do not use drinking straws" for a while.

Why causes the socket after tooth extraction to turn black?
Naturally, it depends upon "which" extraction --- however, in the normal course of things, it should appear somewhat "depressed", and should be the same color of the rest of your gums. If bleeding continues, try biting down on a warm tea bag instead of "gauze". Why? Because tea contains "tanic acid", which helps heal and shrink the gum.
Is it normal to have new swelling one month after a tooth extraction?
Try calling up your dentist. He or she may want to hear about it and see what they can do for you. If you need to do something to help it, he or she will be able to tell you. No it is not normal to have swelling a month after the extraction. It might be food that got stuck in the hole and that is causing a minor infection. It might also be another tooth beside the extracted one that is causing the swelling. Only a dentist can make te right diagnosis by checking it.
