Is my wisdom tooth extraction healing properly?

Question

I had 4 wisdom teeth extracted 20 days ago. The healing process has been slow for my bottom extraction sites. I rinse with the syringe the dentist gave me after I eat. Today I was rinsing with the syringe like normal-maybe used a bit more of force. I saw some white matter thinking it was some left over food but after it came out the extraction site started to bleed a little. Sometimes it's hard to tell if it is food stuck in the extraction site or not. Does this sound normal since it's been 20 days?

Answer 1

My sister recently had her Wisdom Teeth Removed. She healed in about 16 days but it's different for everybody. You should be fine. If you are really worried about it I recomend calling your Dentist.

Answer 2

I had four of my wisdom teeth extracted 8 days ago and when I flush the holes with the syringe, I always get blood coming out of one of them. A little blood is probably fine. I don't know if it's normal since it's already been 20 days with you. You might want to call your surgeon and check.
