A member asked:
Is it normal for gums to heal over wisdom teeth extraction sockets? will the sockets still be able to heal?

Yes: If you are healthy the gum tissues surrounding the extraction site will grow and grow until they merge and close over the extraction site. Underneath that some bone will also grow but more slowly than gum tissue

Yes: It is quite normal for your gum tissue to close over the extraction site.
