Wisdom Tooth Extraction question

Okay so I went to the dentist several days ago and the dentist removed one of my wisdom teeth (on the upper right side). I had to keep some gauze in my mouth near the area of the extraction for several hours until the bleeding stopped. The bleeding fully stopped within about 24 hours however I have noticed that when I move my tounge to that area where the wisdom tooth was I can feel a hole in the gums. And the gums in that area sort of seem slightly swollen. Does anyone know how long it takes for the hole to heal completely and close up? Should I still even be able to feel the hole there?

Sorry, this is the first time I have had a wisdom tooth removed so I don't have any past experience as a point of reference.
 
Heal up completely, a few weeks. It should be fine in a day or two.
 
Had all four done at once. Four holes and ya it felt weird but they all closed and no issues since. It's normal and nothing to worry about.

I would be more concerned how your dentist didn't set the proper expectations for healing and provide after care instructions to you.

I once had a wisdom tooth removed, and the clot came out. What developed was what's called a dry socket. It was by far the most EXCRUCIATING pain that I experienced in my entire life. It was completely unbearable, but I did not go back to the dentist, as I thought it would go away soon. Not only that, there was a terrible smell coming from the socket.

Very bad memory.
 
I had an upper one removed and it created a hole to my sinus. They put stiches in to close the gap and then gave me a whole bunch of restrictions like not using straws for 6 months, etc. In my case, it was obvious that there was a problem before I left the office (indeed, he made an emergences appointment for me with a dental surgeon to finish the job and put the stiches in). If the dentist did not say anything, that is likely not your problem (if there is a hole, it is obvious when they put the suction next to the hole, you hear the air passing through).
 
Yeah you can rinse with warm salt water to aid the healing. Unless you have increasing pain or fever your experience sounds like my wisdom extractions.

how long did the pain last?
 
Usually they leave stiches, I had my 4 front teeth extracted and wisdoom teeth when I was dealing with braces.

Gargle with warm salt water helps a lot with the healing process, as much fun as it is do not play with the open hole. If you are in pain Tylenol 3 helps if you didn't get any you can get Tylenol with codeine from the drug store,

Give it a month to heal , so no DFK, no DATY and No BJs in a month two weeks or so you probably want to go back to your dentist or hygienist and ask them how well it is healing.
 
My original worry was dry socket but I dont feel any pain at all. So it doesnt sound like its dry socket. Its not painful. Its been 7 days since I had the wisdom tooth extracted. I just have been chewing food on the left side of my mouth because I dont want any food to go into the small hole in my gums on the right side where the extracted tooth was. I just had no point of reference since its the first time I've had a wisdom tooth extracted and was worried that the hole was still there even 7 days later. Based on some of the comments I have read above though it sounds like it takes a bit longer to heal.
 
I can see how you might ask this question since you are no longer wise:)

Healing will depend on your own body.

Best to keep it clean while it heals by rinsing after each meal with antiseptic mouthwash.

If you are not diabetic or have immune system problems all should be well.

Biggest concern for people is the pain and you seem not to have this problem.

Extra protein and vitamin C may assist in healing.
 
It took a couple of weeks for my mouth to start feeling normal again. Maybe another week or so before I could eat a steak. That was a bit traumatizing. :frown:
