Wisdom tooth socket
My left mandibular wisdom tooth was extracted almost a month ago. I had gone to the dentist for stitches removal. But she said that the socket was very big and that healing was slow, so she gave me multivitamins(Becozinc and Folic acid). I took it for almost 20 days. But still looking at the socket it hasnt healed. What should be done? Im visiting my dentist in 3 days.

Sometimes due to bone cutting(required during extraction),it takes little longer than usual to heal . As you are on multivitamin regime the socket will gradually heal.You can do warm saline rinses three times a day.Do not ignore if site is painful,if so visit your dentist.
