There is good stuck in my wisdom tooth socket, i think my stitch may have came out to soon and i do not has a syringe to get the food out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wisdom tooth socket: How many days since the extraction? Stitch is mostly important for the first day or so and you can still just rinse out thoroughly without a syringe. Call the dentist, explain the issues and ask whether or not you need to be seen.
