Mine did the same thing and it took quite a while for the holes to fill in but they eventually do. Keep it clean by rinsing with salt & water or mouthwash. Food that gets stuck there can cause really bad breath & can get infected.

Versed (Midazolam) is an amnestic. It is also commonly used for minor procedures like setting broken bones,colonoscopies,endoscopies, dental procedures like extractions,conscious sedation,twilight sleep, so that patients won't remember pain and discomfort.HOWEVER THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THOSE SENSATIONS WILL NOT BE EXPERIENCED!!!!Forgetting does not mean it did not happen!! Here is a note from a Dentist Who uses Versed I've used Versed 1000+ times during oral surgery procedures and I've never had a complaint. It's a miracle drug because it is safe and it causes you to not remember an unpleasant experience. My answer to him is isn't it better to have not experienced the pain than to have forgot it. No wonder you have had no complaints they have no memory of the procedure..... My wife had her broken bone(Femur)set in the emergency room just before surgery to repair it. They gave her versed and I waited outside of the room and could hear her screaming in pain,they did not appear to be concerned as they told me she would not remember anything and she did not. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN AND THAT SHE DID NOT SUFFER A note from an anesthesiologist The other way is to have an anesthesiologist/anaesthetist give you sedation with propofol, which actually is a quick general anesthetic given IV. Instead of just taking away your memory of the procedure, propofol provides actual anesthesia, so that you don't feel the scope going through your guts. You should request an anesthesiologist, you almost always can get one. In the center where I work, you always get one, and many gastroenterologists work with anesthesiologists because it's much easier for them to do the scoping when the patient is still, instead of writhing and moaning. Amnesia does not take place for all patients!!!!! Listen carefully when a Doctor tells a patient they should have a colonoscopy they are told you won't remember anything and not you will not feel anything.

Hmmm...sorry to hear that. Yes, the holes should eventually close. Swish vigorously with warm salt water 2-4 times a day (it helps the healing process - as well as dislodging food particles). When I had my wisdom teeth removed, they sutured the holes, so I didn't have such problems. Bummer.

at first they seem like you have a huge hole, and makes you feel uncomfortable, but dont worry eventually the holes you see now will replace the hole, by filling in the back with gums and will feel normal. you need to have patience and try to not worry about it so much.
you must make sure to wash them very carefully and well, because the food can build up in the hole and cause bacteria, just take care of that. it is better to have the wisdom tooth removed, because probably later they might bring some consequences. that almost happenend to me, but got them removed on time. but truly the back of your mouth does look freaky. but soon they will look as if you never had anything removed. GOOD LUCK!!!

Funny question! But, to ease your mind - the holes will close up and eventually, there will be just smooth gum. Just make sure to keep the areas clean - you are more susceptible to infections, since food and bacteria can fester in these areas.

You will have holes until your gums completely knit back together.
The holes will close, little by little, just be patient. After you eat rinse your mouth with water. It will help to get the debris out.

They will close up, just give them time. Just make sure you clean it out well, and rinse with Listerine to kill the germs in it.
