Experiencing Soft Gum After Teeth Extraction
I had 5 teeth extracted 2 weeks ago the extraction went well, however after the swelling went back down I'm now left with a part of my gum that is ultra soft to touch almost as if it's sort of sinking in. This is causing me some discomfort with my dentures which seem to be rather ill fitting

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction 2weeks ago now you have swelling and discomfort may be due to proper healing not occured ,
Proper healing after extraction take 15 to 20 days now you should visit dentist and get oral examination done
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health

Hi
Thanks for writing in.
Healing after extraction takes time.
Do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day.
Do gum massage with gum tone gel.
If still problem persists consult dentist or get your denture replaced.
