Tooth extraction day 7

Hi can anyone tell me if this is normal? Day 7 after tooth extraction and have this white in the extraction site? I have had chicken for my tea tonight but unsure if that’s what it is as I’ve brushed and done a salt water rinse and it’s still there…

please help!

No wonder you’ve got dental issues.

You need to floss daily.

My local independent pharmacy was shut but I’m hoping tesco pharmacy may be open, if not I’ll have to see what I can find on the shelves! Wish me luck 🤦🏻‍♀️😂
