Sorry... Let me rephrase.
My bottom left wisdom tooth was extracted 6 days ago, and the holes have come in, and now the gum on the tooth right beside is detaching from the tooth. Is this normal?

Sounds like this could be part of the healing process, but it is a good idea to make a quick appointment with the doctor who extracted your teeth. With any surgical procedure, there are various risks (although sometimes small). Please visit the dentist or oral surgeon to rule out these complications.

HELLO,
THE TEETH ARE COMPLETE IN OPPOSITE JAWS, AS A MATTER OF FACT IN EXACTLY OPPOSING POSITIONS. TOOTH #16 SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TOUCHED DURING THE EXTRACTION OF #17.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
