Berus,
Gently place your tongue over each extraction site. You will be able to feel if there is an open hole or not. Thirty days post op... the sites are probably pretty well closed over with gum tissue. The bone has not filled in as that takes up to a year... but the gum tissue will close over way before that.
Go ahead, check them...it's okay you're not going to disturb anything.

In the case of my own extraction sites, the pockets are deep enough and angled enough that I can't exactly shine a light down there and see, even with a 3x mirror. Is there some specific way one can tell, other than being able to get a clear look, which, in my case, isn't exactly possible?
Thanks!
