I had my wisdom tooth removed a week ago, 2 of the 3 stitches came out 4 days after which didn't concern me.
What does concern me is that the flap of skin that was stitched up has become bunched up and gets rubbed between my lower gum and upper tooth when trying to eat, its fine if I'm not talking or eating but I'm a sales person so I need to talk to people and I'm a human so I need to eat.
Is is common for the flap of skin to be irritated between the upper tooth and lower gum (not actually biting it but more rubbing it).
Im just afraid as the stitches came out the reason the skin has bunched up is it has pulled away and will need to be restitched.
I had to have it done via IV sedation which cost me an arm and a leg (for me at least) for the 1 tooth and dread the thought of having to have any more needles near my mouth.
Thanks in advance, I'm actually regretting having it out a little if I'm being honest.
