A member asked:
Is it normal to not have a hole after impacted wisdom teeth surgery, but just a very small slit? how do i use the irrigating syringe with no hole?

Depends: If tooth was elevated through the buccal wall, opening may be smaller. If a question about the syringe, call the surgeon for direction
