Hello. Three days ago I got my wisdom teeth pulled. Today, on the third day after surgery, I felt a little lump in one of the extraction holes right next to my stitches. It wasnt there the first day not that I noticed anyways and I dont remember feeling it on my second day either but I ate a sandwich very slowly and with small bites and washed my mouth out with warm salt water to get the bread pieces out but felt that bump shortly after it doesnt hurt to bad just feels kinda irritating. Is it bad? Should I go see my dentist or will it go away with time as it heals?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The bump could be the flap which has been raised during extraction of the tooth. Slight swelling will be there following extraction. Complete the course of antibiotics and analgesics for 5 days. When you for suture removal you can take an opinion from the surgeon about the lump. Do saline gargling and keep the extraction site clean. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
