What happens if food gets into a tooth extraction hole?
If you get food into a tooth extraction hole, it can cause pain, infection, and decrease the healing time. Your doctor should have given you a syringe that you can use to squirt water into the hole to get any food out.
Should your stitches completely cover the hole from your extracted tooth?
Yes, the stitches would cover the hole where your tooth was extracted. This is to help the gums heal without food getting caught in the hole.
Can you get drysocket in a baby tooth after extraction?
Not usually because there is usually a permanent tooth right below it under the surface. A lot of times you can even see the new tooth. Dry sockets usually happen when there is a deep hole after an extraction of a permanent tooth.
A painful hole has developed in your gums where you had a wisdom tooth extracted over a year ago what is going on?
it is probably infected
Why causes the socket after tooth extraction to turn black?
Naturally, it depends upon "which" extraction --- however, in the normal course of things, it should appear somewhat "depressed", and should be the same color of the rest of your gums. If bleeding continues, try biting down on a warm tea bag instead of "gauze". Why? Because tea contains "tanic acid", which helps heal and shrink the gum.
What happens if you rinsed and had warm soup after tooth extraction?
Tooth extraction leaves a gaping hole in the gum and jawbone structure. The extraction results in bleeding which needs to be prevented. The natural clotting system creates a blood clot in the socket where the tooth was removed, and thus stops the bleeding. Rinsing too soon can dislodge and remove the clot resulting in more bleeding, which can cause stomach upset, and if uncontrolled, loss of too much blood which could be dangerous. It also exposes the wound to possible infection. It is best to follow the instruction "not to rinse" to prevent complications which could be dangerous and expensive to correct. The "no rinse" rule should be included on a standard patient instruction sheet that you get following a tooth extraction. There will be a number of important things on there, like "do not use drinking straws" for a while.

How long does a tooth extraction hole stay open?

Will large cavity left by wisdom tooth extraction cause problem?
It certainly leaves a big hole in the gum. It will close over in a relatively short time.
Will your gum grow back after you have a tooth extracted and can you replace that empty space with a denture?
The gums will close up and there won't be a hole. And the hole can be "filled" up with an implant, a bridge, a partial denture or something called a flipper. It depends on which tooth is missing a other factors. Talk to your dentist to see what the best option for you is.
What is a bump on your gum after having a tooth out?
It is probably 1 of 2 things. It could be similar to a blood blister where your gums have formed a protective layer to stop the bleeding or it could simply be some kind of food stuck in the hole where the tooth was extracted from.
