Evaluation: It's hard to know if this is normal or not in your particular case, sight unseen. I recommend you call your dentist and ask that question and ask to have that area evaluated.

Pro baby OK: But just to be sure contact the Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon who did the extraction. He/she may want to see you for a reevaluation.
