A member asked:

What can i do to help my wound heal. i had a lower molar removed but the root broke so the dentist had to go down to the bone. i was not given stitch.?

See below: When a root is broken off the surgery is more extensive and sutures are usually placed since your dentist didn't do that you have a clot that is covering the extraction site. Make sure you do not remove the clot by drinking and switching liquid in your mouth drink carefully , try and eat on the other side for the next few days. Get the liquid homeopathic remedy traumeel and take 6 drops under ton.

Salt Water: Extraction sites without stitches usually start to heal up within 3 days. I always ask my patients to rinse with some warm salt water. It seems to speed up healing as well as making the extraction site feel better.
