Problems after having wisdom teeth out?!


Question:

Problems after having wisdom teeth out?

I had one of my bottom wisdom teeth extracted 4 days ago, i didn't think ther was any problem at first, i got alot of swelling and bruising which was expected but i have been having a strange taste in my mouth since yesterday which is not tcp thing that he packed the wound out with before putting the stiches in, ive just took a closer look and i think there is a hole in my gum that hasnt been stitched properly, its pretty painfull, do u think i need to go back or will it heal on its own? i'm scared to eat incase something gets in there!


Answers:

from my own experience this is normal.... wait a few more days and it will get better. you must also watch for infections. the taste you descrbe is from the blood clot that was formed after the extraction. rinse frequently but gently to keep that hole cleared of food particles and such.
