This panoramic dental X-ray shows a full-mouth view of the maxilla and mandible. Several teeth demonstrate radiographic signs of infection, bone loss, and previous dental treatment. The findings suggest chronic, multi-site dental pathology rather than a single isolated issue.
Client concern: “I had my back left bottom tooth removed on Friday. Is this normal, or am I just paranoid?”
At full zoom, the area shown appears to be a recent extraction socket on the lower left posterior (back) jaw, behind the last standing molar. The socket contains a gray-white to yellowish material with surrounding pink tissue.
Image Observations: You did not upload an image for this specific case, so the analysis is based solely on your description.
Client Statement: "Had an extraction yesterday. This is what it looks like today. Did the filling come out? Does it look normal?"
The picture shows occlusal breakdown / possible caries or fractured cusp on the last visible molar (upper right in the photo). The tooth surface looks cavitated and stained; one area looks like loss of enamel/restoration.
I don’t see obvious swelling or pus in the photo, and I can’t test percussion/mobility or pulp vitality from a photo — those are needed for definitive diagnosis.
I see a dark, fairly deep socket behind the last visible molar (the extraction site).
No obvious pus or large swelling visible in the photo and you report no pain — both reassuring.
Surrounding teeth look intact. Photo lighting/angle limits how much I can see (I can’t check bleeding under the gum or feel for mobility).
