Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
Thanks for consulting Healthcaremagic .
This is Dr. Priyanka tiwari answering your query .
I have read your query and understand your concern . As far as split in your gum is concerned after extraction process , the healing starts to take place . There is nothing to be worried this happens by organization of blood clot inside the extraction site . As the new tissue start forming from inside out the visible split will disappear and the gum will start to look and feel even and regular . Tissue will heal on its own and may appear to be normal 4 -6 weeks after post surgery.
InMeantime Do warm saline rinses 3 to 4 times a day . Take proper course of antibiotic prescribed by your dentist . Maintain good oral hygiene . Use chlorhexidine mouthwash regularly.
Hope I have answered your query .
If you have further query I will be happy to help.
