A member asked:
What could the reason be that my gum does not fully close after extraction as there is neither bone nor bit tooth left?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Extraction sites vary in the amount of time it takes for them to close, ive seen them take a year, if u r having no pain i wouldnt worry about it, if it has been over 2weeks and the site is painfull i would go to the dentist that did the extraction and get an x ray.
