hey guys
ive done some light reading on wisdom tooth removal and i just have a few small and quick questions
- Does a wisdom tooth socket, heal from the inside and then push out like ive heard
- If food was stuck in there, would this process push it out before the wound closes naturally. and how rare is it for the wound to close with food inside. i hear horror story's, i read to much
The reason im asking this is because when i went to the dentist, they found my wisdom tooth had come out but it was basically a dead tooth and removed it
It was quick, painless, and i didnt even swell up much, it was all pretty easy and now im 11 days in and ive had the odd and very short lived sharp pain and feel like ive swallowed something, ive had this twice now over day 10 and day 11
my mum says its food and the socket pushing the food out, and that its normal, she looked and couldnt see anything unusual, said it looked healthy
the doctor didnt stitch the wound, they didnt put on sutures, they just left it as an open hole and she said it wasnt necessary and it will heal quickly due to the removal
And they didnt even give me a syringe, and i cant find one, althought i rinse with salt water everyday 3 times a day after every meal
