Hi guys Im new here and just had a question for you guys.
I had a tooth extracted bottom left 1st molar a few weeks ago and I was just curious as to what happens to the hole it leaves?
I can already feel the deep part of the hole is alot tougher now and feels like regular bone/gum.
However at the top its still like flappy and Im still scared to eat on that side of my mouth (I havent used that side for over a year)
Do these 'flaps' heal over? Seeing as they aren't open wounds I cant see it happening. Also a tight lump has emerged over the last couple of days on the outside of the gum, it feels like something hard like bone and when pushed it stings a bit, was wondering if this is normal? I thought maybe its new bone growing inside the gum...
Its been suchhhhhh a long ordeal for me bt luckily the worst is over since having the tooth out I was so glad to see it go!
Any help would be greatly appriciated thanks in advance!
