What Causes The Growth In Wisdom Tooth Extraction Site?

I had my wisdom teeth out 5 weeks ago, they havent healed well and my surgeon put me on penicillin on monday, he stated that although he could not see an infection, things dont seem right. I now have this bloody growth at one of the extraction sites. I am going to book an appointment asap with my surgeon, but what could this be?

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth see what happend is healing of wisdom tooth socket takes time if it is surgical extraction or traumatic extraction dont be worried so much this growth can be the clot formation on the extraction site or it can be due to deposition of food debris in clot it look like growth at extraction site.
Consult your dentist and follow post operative instructions and take proper course of antibiotics , take proper rest , take soft diet .

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
