Hello!
Please help put me out of my anxiety spiral! I had my wisdom teeth removed on the 3rd, and it’s now the 6th. I started noticing yesterday that my cheek on the side with stitches felt very raw, almost like I’d bitten it. This morning I can finally open my mouth wide enough and see that there appears to be a hole in my cheek with some white stuff in it! I do not think the hole is my extraction site as it’s on the side. I’ve attached a poorly taken photo. Swelling is slowly going down, I’ve been doing salt rinses, and actual pain in my wisdom teeth is manageable with pain meds. At this point my cheek hurts more than anything. There’s no smell and the pain isn’t extreme but it’s very uncomfortable
