Wisdom tooth out-can't see stitches, blood clot, or hole?

Question

I got one wisdom tooth out yesterday. I was finally able to open my jaw enough today to look in there. I expected it to be a disgusting mess, but surprisingly it looks very normal. It's normal pink in color, i figured it'd be red. I can't even find a hole or stiches or blood clot...is this normal??? The inside of my cheek is a bit swollen, but I think i got a pretty good look at it...what's going on??

Answer 1

I can't tell you what's going on. However, I can tell you where my wisdom teeth came out were the same way. No hole or stitches to be seen but still definite swelling in my cheeks. The swelling was gone within a week or less.  

Answer 2

The incision (or socket) and stitches are directly behind the remaining tooth in the back. Use a spoon to pull your cheek out and you should see a dark slit...that's your socket! It's not as big or as damaged as you thought right? I had the same experience when my wisdom teeth were removed...once the swelling goes down you'll be able to see it even better, and irrigate it properly.
