Question:
How is the gums supposed to heal?
I have gaps after the gap teeth and where the gum starts - the gaps are only
on one side (the cheek side) - on the other side the gum starts straight
away where the last tooth stops - is this right - if not, cant it be fixed?
i would have thought after the last normal molar the gum would start -
bearing in mind thats exactly where the wisdom tooth was..
Answer:
The gum will heal--don't worry about that. It is sometimes not
possible to stitch the edges of the gums together. In that case the
hole fills from the bottom up. There may be a "divet" for quite some
time--perhaps several months, depending on how open the socket is. It
will be covered within a few weeks though.
True, we agree and please be careful
when operating the riding mower over it.
