I had two teeth pulled over two weeks ago. One was a wisdom tooth and one was a molar. They were right next to eachother.
So here is my problem, I still have an open socket in my gum that is about an inch long (it looks like the surgeon made one long cut to take both teeth out). It doesn't look like it is healing at all!!!
It doesn't hurt at all, it is just annoying as all get out since I still have to get up constantly and clean it out.
So, my question is, how long does it take for the sockets to close up if you don't get stitches? Should I be worried at all?

You have nothing to worry about. Just make sure that you don't get any food or particles in the hole and please don't suck out of a straw until it is fully healed! The last thing you want is dry sockets!!

It can take up to 6 months for an extraction site to fully heal. As long as your not having any pain, you're fine.

HELLO,
THE TIME DOES VARY FROM PERSON TO PERSON. IT MAY TAKE A FEW MORE WEEKS COMPLETELY CLOSE. NOT PUTTING IN SUTURES WAS NOT A PRUDENT ACTION.
