A member asked:
I had lower molar removed 9 days ago.the retromolar trigone area at the bend got pretty tore up and big hole, should that heal eventually?

Yes I : The vast majority of extraction sites take 6-8 weeks to heal and should be fully healed in 3 months. At 9 days you've still got much healing to go on thete.

Yes: And despite the appearance at 9 days, it should heal completely where you will never be able to tell that anything was even done back there. Softer, non-abrasive foods and salt water rinses. I give my patients a hydrocolloid gel which promotes healing and soothes the areas and I have received terrific feedback about it.

Yes: But have your dentist to evaluate the healing of the area. Follow-up is very important. Sometimes it does not heal properly.
