hi
please don't bother about any kind of gue... you will notice various changes in extraction site as healing process is going on...
its absolutely fine as long as you are not experiencing any pain or any bleeding...
just do warm saline rinses 7-8 times a day... take proper medication prescribed by your dentist... n also take B-complex along with that....
take care...

Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

First of all let me point you that there are only 4 wisdom teeth to be erupted in a human being.

The yellow Type of glue can be granulation tissue formed by healing of extraction socket.

Take complete course of antibiotics-analgesics prescribed.

Maintain oral hygiene well.

Rinse your mouth after every meals to avoid plaque accumulation within the socket.

Take care.

hi
As per your query, the color changes in extraction region is related to healing process. The yellow type gue is nothing but can be remnants of what you eat, simply soft debris. Saline rinses ,antiseptic mouthwash will be beneficial to you.
Take multi vitamin capsules for enhanced healing. As you will go to your dentist for stitches removal, then ask him to irrigate the area with betadine also.
Take care n bye..
