Teethes pulled out, top left hand side of mouth, flap of skin coming out of gap. Solution?
Patient: I got three teeth pulled out in about Novemberish, its on the top left hand side of my mouth and there was still a gap, slit thing after the stiches and everything. Now recently there was a gooey substance coming out my tooth , and now i have this flap of skin coming out of the gap, and it does bug me when i talk. Do you know why or how it got there and how i can get rid of it? Doctor: Hi,  Thanks  for  asking  the  query,  From  the  description  this  can  be  healing  socket  or interdental  papilla that came  out  after  extraction .. I would  advice  you  to  use  warm  saline  gargles   Maintain a good  oral  hygiene  . use 0.2%chlorhexidine  mouthwash solution twice  daily .  As  the  extra mass remained  is  creating  a  problem  you  can  visit  the  dentist  and  get  it  removed.  Regards.....
