Hole left from wisdom teeth...what to do?!

Question

Ok, a couple things. Bottom 2 wisdom teeth didn't come in so I had them removed and had stiches...everything is ok with them except the same day I got the stiches, the one on the side of my mouth came out. I called and they said that it was ok...so, now, it is healed, but there is a hole there...like, idk, right in my cheek. ANOTHER THING, lol. My top 2 teeth were fully in and now I have 2 holes up there....will they ever close?! Because, omg, the food that always get in there is a pain to get out.

Answer 1

It's natural to have holes when you get your wisdom teeth out...

just give it some time and they will heal. Rinse your mouth with salt water for a minute and it will clean them out. Just be patient and they'll get better soon. Good luck

Answer 2

dry sockets they are called.  make sure you clean them out good.

Answer 3

yes don't worry in time they will close up.

Answer 4

Does it hurt? I heard dry socket hurts like a you know what.

My dentist told me if I got them (I had my wisdom teeth out today) I could go in and he could inject something to fill the hole an prevent infection.
