Please go back to the dentist or oral surgeon who extracted the teeth for a post op evaluation.

You need to have sutures placed and the area cleaned out of any debris, all causing delayed healing. Go back to dentist for treatment and home treatment you do your self. If you have no medical problems than healing is inevitable.

Dr. Davantzis is correct. The General Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon that did your surgical procedure (extractions) is responsible for your post-surgical care. Please return to his/heer office for evaluation.
