Ffs pretty sure that wisdom tooth stitch did pull out around day 2, 10 days ago.

Now that it's healed enough I can take a look at it fully, there is food jammed way down a deep hole slit. Seems one section of the stitching did rip, not enough to cause the rest of the main hole to not be able to heal up fine though. ffs lol, now I've got a whole second round of the bullshit...

Tbh I'm not sure I'm supposed to mess with it. I wouldn't want to pull any of the "clotting" out of that area either.

Do not mess with the clot at any cost. Don't listen to randos online. The clot is essential.

Go back to the dentist and let them look at it again. Don't play with your teeth, it can cost you dearly

Then go get permission from your mouth's owner.

Do you have to ask your proctologist to wipe your ass too?

Why'd they give you stitches? They just take the tooth out and the bleeding stops eventually.

The most important thing is a clot must form in the socket. It's imperative to avoid blood thinners including fish oil, turmeric, papaya, etc and of course no aspirin.

Also, the first few days, you should only have liquids but make sure to avoid disturbing the extraction site. And do not use mouthwash. Don't even brush your teeth for two days.

Remember, the clot is the healing.

Yes, dry sockets are extremely painful.

Clean it out, or suffer the consequences. Your oral health is not worth sleeping on.

I'm curious to know if there are any 'painless' dentists left, or if the current crop are all graduates of the John Wayne School of Dentistry. Did you get any real pain pills or were you told to "suck on Motrin".

I’ve had zero pain so far. I was prescribed a real pain pill but I don’t like to take those. I literally had no pain so I didn’t take one anyways. But I have colitis so my pain tolerance is off the charts.
