Not a problem: The healing takes place from the inside out. The gum will heal after the inside allows it to do so – this usually takes 1-2 months. This is not a problem and you will probably not notice it after the 1st week.

Yes: Yes, should grow back normally. Make sure your wisdom teeth are removed by an oral surgeon.

One-two weeks: Your post-operative healing time will vary, usually ranging from one-two weeks. If concerned, see your surgeon for post-op evaluation.

What do I do with the swelling. My gum swollened at the back of the molar and it's not wisdom teeth that cause it because I removed last year.

I have a hole in my gum. It doesn't hurt or bleed, it's just a clean hole. The inside is the same colour as the rest of my gum. The hole is on my gum where my wisdom teeth would grow out. I haven't had my wisdoms removed yet. Is it worth worrying?

Ive had my wisdom tooth removed. One of the stitches came loose before being dissolved. There is a hole at the back of my gums. Its not causing unbearable pain but food gets stuck in there. Should I be worried?

Had a lower left impacted wisdom tooth removed approx 2 months ago. now left side of tongue and lower left gum line is tingly and a slight burning sensation. Unable to go back to dentist. Part of tooth remained behind. Feels like nerves were damaged.
