What Causes A Hole At The Extraction Site Of Tooth?
i just got my wisdom teeth out 2 days ago and the bottom incision site looks whitish around the edge but like there is a hole in the lining and it looks black in the hole.. is this normal or could this be a dry socket forming? you can only see into the hole if i pull my cheek far enough away from my jaw

Hello
Thanks for consulting hcm
Read your query as you have hole in site of extraction of wisdom tooth this can be unhealed socket or periodontal flap dont be worried so much symptoms of dry socket have pain with fouk smell . I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for clinical examination of socket and do warm saline rinses , take proper course of antibiotic prescribed by your dentist .
