11 days post molar extraction, is this healing fine?

(don’t mind the stitch lol)

 

[Gordon]

Do you have some reason to think that it isn't?

 

[DravenDatura]

@Gordon nope, just wasn’t sure if it’s supposed to be closing up more by now that’s all haha

 

[Gordon]

Ah, OK. Well, it's healing perfectly fine then.

 

[DravenDatura]

@Gordon is the reddish area just the healing process?!

 

[Gordon]

Yes, it's granulation tissue.

 

[DravenDatura]

@Gordon ahhh ok, thanks! noticed it this morning so that’s good to know and see. does that mean the stitch should be falling out soon?

 

[DravenDatura]

@Gordon ironically enough, after eating lunch just now, the stitch fell out lol. there’s just a little left that’s on the bottom of the gum going through. is it safe to carefully pull that out or just leave it and that’ll wiggle out on its own? i called my dentist office and explained and the front desk lady said just to leave it. do you agree as well since you’re able to see it yourself here?

@Gordon disregard, a hygienist i know told me if i was able to get it (unless there’s resistance) that i’d be ok to get it. came out fine!
