The white is dead tissue - like when you have a cut and it scabs -but in your mouth it cannot scab because of the moisture. Leave it alone to heal. Do not forcefully rinse or gargle to loosen it or the blood clot - it'll cause a dry socket, which is very painful, delays the healing process and possibly another trip to the dentist From other contributors: I have the same thing. I've looked around and from what I can tell this is the answer.

1.) White in the socket Usually nothing to worry about. That's a blood clot. In your mouth it turns white. If your sure it's not food LEAVE IT ALONE. If it is the clot and you remove it, that'll mean a very painful trip to the dentist. 2.) White stuff around it Increase your iron intake and drink more. Whitening of the gums is usually caused by amenmia (blood loss-low iron) or dehydration. Also make sure it's clean. It could also be bacteria. If it doesn't go away, talk to your dentist asap.

What is hard white sharp substance in socket of tooth extraction?

The white stuff is normal and is the blood clot. It appears white because saliva has leached out the red blood cells. There may be a slight smell due to the organic material (blood clot) fermenting in a moist, warm environment (your mouth). This is part of the healing process and will fade away.


Do getting your wisdom teeth out hurt?

The dentists are there to make it not hurt. Just make sure you don't smoke anything, don't drink from straws and stuff like that, basically don't suck on anything, If you do, you could get dry socket, which I've heard is very very painful.

The answer to this is , No! The extraction of metal usually requires the appliction of heat to separate the metal from it's matrix, the stuff mixed with the metal. This is called "Smelting".
