Hello Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query you had wisdom tooth extraction around 5 days ago and now you have no pain and bleeding after blood clot removal as well which is very normal. After 1 week of extraction bone formation gets started and you will start seeing bare white colored area which is a sign of rapid healing.

Need not to panic about anything, keep maintaining your good oral hygiene with brushing, flossing and warm saline rinses. If you have any pain or difficulty in mouth opening visit dentist near by you.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
