A member asked:

I got my wisdom teeth out a little over a week ago. i accidently swallowed to hard and ripped a scab off of the bottom two extraction sites. now there are holes where the scabs were. my question is, is this something that will heal up on its own?

YOU SHOULD GET HOLES SUTURED IF BIG AND FOOD GETS STUCK IN HOLES. YOU COULD LET THE HOLES HEAL ON THEIR OWN AND FLUSH OUT FOOD. KEEP AREA CLEAN AND HAVE SURGEON LOOK AT IS BEST SOLUTION.

First, report in to the Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon and report your concern. Second, if there is no pain, bad taste, foul odor, difficulty chewing/swallowing, if there is any swelling, seek immediate attention. If you are asymptomatic, you should be healing ok.

The extraction socket does not heal and fill up with bone in a week. Since you bit down on it and you do not have any complication ,it will continue to heal .If symptoms appear ,see your Dentist..
