Gum flap anyone?!
Question:
Gum flap anyone?
two weeks ago i got my right side wisdom teeth pulled out. my top tooth is healing fine, but it's my right bottom tooth area that i'm kind of worried about.
when i got it pulled out, my dentist had to stitch the area. the thread came out but now when gargle, there is a gum flap and it's irritating me. should i bring it up with my dentist? if so, should i tell him to stitch it back up or no?
Answers:
I took mines out about 3 weeks ago. Two had to be stitched up. The stitches fell out about a week and a half. Try to to touch it with your tongue. When I had mines, touching it is a little painful. And gargle gently. It's prob trying to close up the hole. Mines did come off twice while gargling with warm salt water. It was gray and white color when it came off. But the doc said it was healing nicely so nothing to worry about. It sounds like it's healing. Couldn't hurt to go back and ask him about it if you didn't do a follow-up yet. Good luck!
