What Causes White Film In The Hole Of Extracted Tooth?

I got my bottom back tooth pulled 2 days ago and i have a white film in the hole. Sometimes some comes out but usually it is just sitting in it. I also have slight jaw pain where the dentist gave me a Numbing shot. Is this all normal and what is the white stuff.

Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your query everything is fine with you completely as the white thing sitting in your extraction socket is the healing tissue which will slowly heal and fill up the entire extraction socket and it will slowly transform into bone and will be covered with overlying gums like normal appearance.
Slight pain is nothing serious and it is just due to trauma caused while pricking with the needle during injection.
It will also be just fine in 3 to 4 days..

Just follow instructions given to you by your dentist and take medicines on time..

Hope your query is solved..

Thanks and regards..
