i got my wisdom teeth removed 6 weeks ago and i still have holse in my mouth? wtf?

Question

they didn't stitch my bottom holes up from surgery. so now i have big holes in the back of my mouth and food gets stuck. did anyone else have that problem? some say it will not even heal but the doctor says it will. help! ughhh the doctor is such a freaking idiot.

Answer 1

The "holes" are normal and not all need to have sutures. I had all four of mine taken out at the same time and they were all left open. That's normal when the teeth being extracted are fully erupted. When they are impacted and incesions have to be made then they will suture. As for why you still have "holes" it takes about 4-12 months to heal over..Everyone is different. It's totally normal. You should ask your dr for a "monoject" syringe. You put water in it and it will aide in removing any food in you sockets. Also at this point of healing dry socket is not an issue the inside of the socket is healed now you're just waiting for the bone to grow in...Good Luck

Answer 2

When I was in my early twenties I had both my wisdom teeth taken out at the bottom of my mouth. I was terrified to be honest!! But I was sedated and frankly I went straight to sleep and had to be woken up. They give another sedative to knock you out until way after the operation is over with. They also numb your gums before extracting so pain is not felt at all during the procedure or indeed for a while afterwards. You will be given painkillers and antibiotics too for maybe a week afterwards. Basically, don't worry - mine was a very comfortable and positive experience and my gums had to be cut to remove the teeth because they were severely tilting onto my other teeth. Please don't worry. You will need someone to take you home afterwards though and probably will just sleep for a while afterwards too. But, on the other hand, if you need your wisdom teeth extraction is a simple manner of just local numbing and extraction, then that hurts a lot less and heals a lot quicker. Also straight growing wisdom teeth are apparently quite easy to remove if needed to be (that's what my dentist said last time I saw him - need the tops one done soon!!). I wish you a speedy recovery xxx

Answer 3

Kristylee116 covers it well.
It is not always necessary to stitch up a single extraction wound. It is not always possible to pull the edges together because the bony walls of the socket sometimes prevent the gum from meeting.
Sometimes stitches will only be placed to staunch the bleeding more quickly. If there is more than one extraction wound in a row then stitches may be possible.
The socket will take 12 weeks to fully close over. There is no risk of infection. The food getting trapped is only nuisance value.

Answer 4

The sores in your mouth take longer to heal.
It took mine over four months to fully heal.

Go back to the doctor, or even call him and Ask him for a tool to help you keep it clean.

Answer 5

Your gums were supposed to be sown up. Mine were and my friend recently got his removed and his were to. Dentist ussually use stitches that dissolve when it is healed enough.

Answer 6

DRY SOCKET MAYBE WHICH YOU NEEDED TO NOT OF SUCKED OUT BLOOD CLOT .......BUT OVER TIME IT WILL CLOSE UP. YOUR GUMS SLOWLY FORM TO THE WAY YOU CHEW. TRY NOT GETTING FOOD STUCK IN IT. RINSE GOOD WITH A MOUTH WASH TO PREVENT INFECTION..... FOOD STUCK IN IT CAN GROW BACTERIA FAST KEEP CLEAN.....BUT YOU WANNA CHEW ON IT TO FORM A GUM OVER HOLE....IT WILL TAKE TIME LOTS OF TIME.....THATS WHY THEY SHOULD OF MADE IT VERY CLEAR NOT TO OF SUCKED STRAWS OR SLURPED OR SUCKED BLOOD CLOT OUT OF IT.... THE CLOT WOULD OF FORMED OVER IT BUT ITS NORMAL......YOU'LL GET USED TO IT.....

Answer 7
