I had an extraction and bone graft put in 9 days ago on my back molar. It had looked like there was something in there that was greyish. Today I was told I could use a little water syringe to clean out food. I used it and a little grey thing and other food came out. Now the site looks just like an open socket. Is that normal? Should I be concerned?
I recently had a wisdom tooth and molar 18 extracted. Bone graft put in place 9 days ago. Im doing ok on pain level its just a little sore but as some stitches have dissolved, Im seeing some bone graft material and the gums dont seem to be closing. Will they close? Is this an isssue? Finished al antibiotics as well.
I had a bone graft done on 6.7...exactly a week later the sutures and membrane came out. I've been trying to keep the membrane in somewhat by holding it in place with a little piece of gauze, but that only works for so long. Since it's been a week since the procedure and post opp isnt scheduled for another week. Should I just watch the area for pain or try to get back in to see the dentist asap?
Dental bone graft 11 days ago. Dissolveable and non-dissolvable stitches. Started coming loose yesterday. Dr. said try not and pull, it would probably fall out before I see him in 3 days. I was playing w/ it so much I ended up finally pulling it out today. This happened w/ 3-4 others. Cant lie, I kind of helped them... not sure if regular or dissolvable. Worried I messed up. Feels OK, but I worry I ruined chances of the graft sticking. Saw him 4 days ago and he said everything looked great.
