I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out today and they were impacted. Not much pain now. But my question is that i have a sorta big black hole on the bottom right side, probably where the doc took the tooth out, ect. but on the bottom left i dont have this black hole. is this normal? could i have maybe ripped it open?

It is perfectly normal.
Your wisdom teeth that were on the bottom left and the bottom right were probably impacted at a different degree. The one where you see the black hole is actually the blood clot, or maybe some food that got inside the hole. If it is food, you can either rinse with water and salt, or buy a plastic syringe at the pharmacy that you can fill with water and irrigate your hole.
The black hole will stay there a few days, up to a few weeks, until the bone heals well. But it will go away, don't worry :-)

I've only had one wisdom tooth removed..... and it left a huge scary hole in my mouth!!! Huge, Scary........That was over a year ago now and it has since healed up. I can just feel a very small indent in my gum where the "crater" used to be. It should heal.... if its still bleeding tomorrow afternoon i would call and check with the dentist...........Oh and don't drink out of straws for now. the suction will keep it open.

Well, wisdom teeth all grows differently. Some grows to sideways, like towards your other teeth, and some grows straight up. You left side and right side probably didn't grow the same.

Do you smoke or use a straw to drink fluids? Sometimes the negative pressure can cause issues. (Dry socket) This would smell and cause pain if this were the case.

Maybe, since they usually use sutures to close the area. Call them as soon as you can ( or them may have given you an emergency number) and get in to be seen.

Yes, it's normal. do you have gauze? You should have that in your mouth. Did you get stiches or not? It might also be that one fell out already. Check the other side.
