Hey I'm having both of my upper lateral incisor teeth removed tomorrow. I'm wondering how long they take to heal since they are small teeth
 
Good luck.
About a week. Excellent blood supply and as you say, small roots.
 
Thank you Gordon, glad to know they don't take a while to heal
 
@Gordon If you don't mind me asking which days would you most likely get an dry socket and when don't you need to worry about getting one? I've looked online and they all say different things a little confusing
 
First 24 hrs really, after that the risk is close to zero.
 
@Gordon Thank you Gordon can you tell me if these are healing

Clots are forming nicely, which is all you can say at this stage
 
@Gordon Thank you for you help, it looks like they've got a bit deep this morning, as long as I'm not in pain I've no need to worry
 
Should my upper Lateral incisors be most healed? It's been 5 days since I had them taken out
 
Define healed? :)
They will be sorted enough to eat and drink on without issues, they shouldn't cause any further problems.
