Thanks Bryanna. These extractions are from mid october. These teeth was cracked pretty bad for a long time and one of them had a root canal treatment many years ago. The deep holes (sockets) took some weeks to start filling after the blood clot disolved (or absorbed).

There were two other extractions a few days earlier, each one of them in other areas of the mouth. The first one was a upper wisdom teeth in the other side of the mouth (not impacted, the extraction was very fast and easy ) that had some cavities and it healed pretty well. I think this area of the mouth was more healthy in general, and I managed to keep the extraction site clean and withouth food near it or my tongue poking in it. The other extraction (the second one) was a first molar in my jaw, in the side of the infected wisdom teeth that is waiting for extraction. This molar was in pretty bad shape for a long time too and is not healed yet although it seems it's a bit better. It looks very similar to the photo although the socket is not so big, the gum near it is more contracted and there are some pink areas. In these three extraction sites I had more problems with food near them and my tongue poking on them

About the other things, I think my diet is not the healthiest and my habits could be better, these past year I'm not exercising too much and I'm many hours sitting on a desk. I'm not smoker neither drinker, but I had untreated gingivitis and periodontitis for many years (I'm now in treatment for this with deep cleanings and my gums are a bit better and I have not mobility in the teeth) and I had many dental cavities too.

I had a very poor oral hygiene these past years and now I regreat it so much! I hope I can recover the health of my mouth, my fear to dental treatment has gone and now I only want to be healthy again.
