How is an extraction site supposed to heal?
Hi - per the other thread, I had #15 removed 9 days ago. The clot stayed in place, as far as I know, oral suregon checked it 2 days ago and said it was healing OK, no infection (I am still on antibiotics anyway).
When a friend looks inside my mouth now, she says the clot appears to be shrinking in diameter and moving up into the tooth (which may not be accurate, but she sees less of it) She says it looks like the gum is expanding over the hole, and I can see a slight hemispherical ridge @ the gum where that tooth used to be - almost like a wheel well. Does this sound like appropriate healing?
Thanks-
