Tissue growth post wisdom tooth surgery

2025-10-29 07:24:32
Hi doctors, good day! I had a horizontal impacted wisdom tooth, got surgery 12 days ago. And they removed stitches last Friday, and mentioned everything seemed fine. But post that, since Saturday (last 4 days) I seem to have this growth, like a small, soft  bump, in that area. The area aches very mildly, and at times food gets lodged under the bump. Please see the photo attached. Is this something serious?

It’s a normal condition where the tissue is responding during healing phase ,where is is unlikely to last more than a month after tooth removal.
Next Steps
Please do warm saline rinses and keep the area food debris free.

Hi.. the growth might be a suture granuloma and is not uncommon. Just see if the size increases else it shall resolve on its own. In case it persists, pls pay visit to an Oral surgeon for further evaluation. Get well soon.
