Answer from Li Tao, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Shandong University Stomatological Hospital.
Hello, because the situation of your tooth extraction at that time is not very clear, so there is no way to accurately answer. But in general, the problem is not big. It is recommended to observe and not to bite hard objects.
Patient Question.
If it can be tightened, will it have any effect on the future? How long will it take to grow tighter, thank you, Dr. Li
Shandong University Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Hospital Li Tao replied.
Hello, you are advised to observe for 3 months. If the loosening improves, it should not be a big problem.
Patient Question.
Dr. Li, in fact, I want to go orthodontic, but now this happens, I do not want to correct, more afraid to correct, because I am afraid that the correction process will be loose again. But I have dialed two more teeth, what should I do, Dr. Li, please give you some advice, I am only 19 years old, I really do not know how to face. Thank you so much.
Answer from Li Tao, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Shandong University Stomatology Hospital.
Hello, if the teeth are stable, you can continue orthodontic treatment. You’d better consult with the doctor who extracted and fixed your teeth in detail.
Patient Question.
Dr. Li, thank you, I’m sorry, something happened before, now the tooth is better, but there is a hole in the wound of the tooth extraction, because it is an obstructed tooth, the doctor dug open my gum, and then the tooth was extracted, but he did not give me stitches, I’m afraid that the wound will not grow well.
Reply from Li Tao, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Shandong University Stomatology Hospital.
Hello, normally it takes 2 to 3 months for the extraction wound to heal completely. So don’t worry too much.
Patient Question.
Dr. Li, please think about it three times, I didn’t dare to bother you again, but I am really worried about my disease because I am only a student and I am afraid of missing the best time for treatment. My wound is not only the cavity left after the plucking, but more importantly, my doctor dug up a big piece of my gum because my blocked tooth is slanted, but he didn’t give me stitches, now I want to go back to stitches, can I? Because every time I see the large piece of gum that was cut, I am worried that it will not grow back and now I can’t eat, mainly because of the large wound. Also, Dr. Li, the tooth I was plucked from was not a wisdom tooth, and I was only plucked from a small clinic. Later I went to my side of the city’s human medicine, they also just let me observe, which makes me worried and impatient. This time, I mainly added the explanation because I was afraid that I was not clear before. Dr. Li, I hope you can give me advice again so that I can keep my fear away.
Li Tao, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Shandong University Stomatology Hospital, replied.
Hello, the regenerative ability of the gums is still relatively strong, so you are advised to observe and can generally recover. There is no need to have too much psychological pressure.
Patient Question.
I know, after hearing you say this, I feel much better, Dr. Li, thank you for your reply, I really appreciate you, it has been 24 days since you first replied to me, thank you for a month, still so concerned about my disease, but also so patient for me to answer, this has been my last chance to ask you, I would like to keep, but can not help but ask you again, today I went to the hospital again, the teeth are better I know that this must be the fragment left by the tooth when the tooth was plucked, because it was plucked for a long time, and I also felt that the doctor broke my tooth at that time, but my doctor never told me about it, and I only know about it now, Dr. Li, now I would like to know, is there any way to know whether the inside of the cavity is completely I’d like to know how to know if the cavity is completely cleaned, can I take pictures? Because now I always feel that there is still something in it. Also, even if my wound and tooth are healed later, I still want to check the wound and tooth, what kind of examination should I do? Even if it is redundant, I still want to do the checkup, not that I am scaring myself, because I have looked up a lot of information on the Internet, like my case, ambiguous obstructed tooth, it should be surgically removed, and should also be stitched, but my doctor dialed this tooth like a normal tooth, and it ended up being a real accident, until now I still can’t eat, and it is very hard to talk, I think if you don’t give me comfort all the time, maybe I really I think if you hadn’t been giving me comfort, I might not have been able to hold on. Thank you.

Hello, if you are really unsure, you can go to a professional dental hospital to do a dental CT examination. If it is determined that there is residue, you can choose to observe or remove it by surgery again according to the situation.
