Hello

I had a tooth extraction yesterday and my gum is like this today, does this seem normal?

That looks really healthy to me. I’m day 3 and mine looks like yours did the other day with that light coloured granulation tissue. Mine is still sore so I’m continuing with the painkillers for now.

16 days post op, finally I've started feeling okay too eat proper foods and drink something other than water 🙌🏻 thank you all for helping when I've been anxious about the healing process xx

Ah healing well!! The first proper foods I ate were amazing 🤣 think it was only something simple but I was SO hungry after avoiding for so long. So glad all is ok
