Wisdom teeth extraction
Hi, I had my wisdom teeth extracted around 32 days back..and there was a hole I could see after 2 weeks. I was advised its a healing socket and will close by some time. Now I am rinsing after each meal. But can see the hole is surrounded by white/yellowish tissue which does not go away post salt water rinse as well. Are these normal?
