It's not uncommon to experience a lump near the extraction site after having a tooth removed, especially if you're also adjusting to dentures. This lump could be related to the healing process, bone regeneration, or inflammation. It's important to monitor it and ensure it's not causing pain or infection. If you're concerned or if the lump persists, consult your dentist for an evaluation and guidance on your healing progress.

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.
