Hi, I had 4 wisdom tooth removed 5 days ago and most of the swelling has now gone but not fully. I have noticed a flap of gum tissue covering the lower left molar (in front of where the wisdom tooth was). Also this flap seems to be stitched from the side next to my cheek. Is this normal? Have the stitches be done properly? Thanks
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The flap just behind your second molar is normal after removal of the wisdom tooth. The flap might have sutured to the adjacent gums to close the gap. Nothing to worry its normal. Complete the course of antibiotics and do saline gargling. The flap will get fused or merged with the surrounding tissues in 10\u00a0days. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
