Various ways: Gums if damaged can be seen in the mouth, but there is no way someone could remove a tooth without affecting the gums. Roots are removed with the tooth, in case a root is left behind it can be seen with a x-ray . A nerve damage is to be diagnosed clinically comparing the sensation with the opposite side. Some times it is a temporary loss or reduction of sensation. More information is need

What is your problem: Do you have pain, or is the area not healing well, or is the sensation different around those extraction sites? Without this knowledge it is hard to answer your question. If you do feel you have a problem, then you should seek the help of another practitioner in your area for a second opinion.
