Hi!

Thank you for the information. I seem to be doing good without any pain killers or clove oil. Am I likely to develop an abscess if I let the gums just heal over on their own and do not engage in the act of pushing apart my gums to let the hole remain open? Provided I am rinsing with salt water and maintaining good oral hygiene and that nothing gets caught in the socket while it's healing. I am really nervous about keeping my gums open like that, I just want them to be able to close
