Third molar
 

Hi guys,

Can you tell me if my third molar extraction is healing well. It's been 8 days now since I had it removed

Thanks

Kieranh,

How does it feel to you? Did you or do you have any post operative pain, swelling, oozing from the site?

The limited view on the photograph looks normal for 8 days post op. You have some food debris in the socket and the tissue is a bit irritated. But that is common. Do not put anything in there to pull the food out.

You should still be:
Rinsing with warm salt water 3-4 times a day.
Avoid eating in that area.
No smoking or drinking alcohol. Both slow down the healing process.

Feels fine
 

Hi thank you for replying to me. It does feel fine, it just hurts every morning where the needle went. And that's my stitchers you can see

Looking more better today..
 

Hi thank you for replying to me. It does feel fine, it just hurts every morning where the needle went. And flushed the hole and the smell from bits of food was terrible..
