A member asked:
12 days post wisdom tooth surgery. no stitches on the site. how sturdy is the bloodclot at this point and what are the chances the tissue developing under is finally covering the bone and nerve? if i place wet gauze on would it snatch the clot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healing: You are probably healing normally. By this point the cot has been replaced with reparative tissue. Ifn you have any concerns, contact your Surgeon.
