Just had a tooth pulled, need help.?

I had a tooth pulled yesterday afternoon, and I just looked into the mirror and noticed that there is a white thing coming OUT of my tooth. I remember the dentist mentioning something about a plug or something that should dissolve in my mouth...is that what it is? Could it be a infection? I am having no pain the area and I am almost positive it is not puss...thanks.

Good GOD.. DO NOT listen to the first reply from that woman!
Your site is healing nicely. And its absolutely normal. DO NOT go poking around the extraction site!!
LEAVE IT BE, and you'll do fine. Just remember NO smoking/dipping, sucking out of straws or spitting, for 48 hours! Wait at least 24 hours before doing warm salt water rinses...
Sounds like your on your way to a quick and painless recovery. Congrats. You listened to your Doc's instructions, nicely!
When a tooth gets pulled, the dentist will stuff the hole with gauze to absorb the blood. At least that's what they did for me. Maybe a bit of the gauze got stuck.
If you can't easily remove it with a tootpick, call the dentist just to make sure.
your probably fine! just call the doc and ask! you cant buy the knowledge of a doc
It could be the root! if its small maybe four ml. long but if it is rough it may be gauze!hope I helped!
It is normal tissue. Do not use anything to poke at it, you will cause it to bleed & risk infection.
As the tissue heals it will go away.
Having no pain is a great sign. Just leave the area be.
