Go and see a dentist: you need to go and see the dentist or the oral surgeon that perform your procedure to make sure there is no infection that could spread to the bone at least you get assured or treated good luck

Re-evaluation: If the wound has not closed after 20 days, it needs to be reevaluated by the surgeon. Please give the office a call for an appointment.
