Who knows something about wisdom teeth extraction?

Question

I just got mine out last Monday, almost a week ago, and it seems to be going fine. It's still kinda tender, but that's ok. My problem is in my upper right gum where they removed one, there's this bubble-like thing, almost like a blister. Is that a dry socket? Am I in for some sort of surprise here? It doesn't really hurt, but it's gross.

I know the thing you are  talking about but I don't know what it is or what it's called. It feels like a blister or perhaps a blood clot. Don't worry it will go away in a bit. Just don't continue to play with it with your tongue.

You would know if it was dry socket cause the pain is excruciating.  It could be anywhere from swelling to a abscess.  Don't you go back to see how your healing went?  If not call the dentist and ask you payed well for that extraction and they may xray in case it is bone frag.
Good luck

Any feeling of soreness or tenderness after the extraction should go away with time. If you are still having issues, you should visit a dentist or oral surgeon.

I would at least go back to the dentist and have them check it out.. congratulations,  I had them taken out about 9 years ago and probably would have been earlier in life if it hadn't been for all of the horror stories I heard about after the surgery..

It may just be some swelling, but if it doesn't go away in another day or two, I'd probably call the dentist and ask him about it

you should have your dentist check it out. It might just be swollen, but better to be on the safe side, because wisdom teeth are so sensitive.
