Question: I had my back molar removed due to resorption last month.. I will replace it with an implant as soon as it heals. I had a bone graft to replace lost bone due to the resorption.. one root was almost completely gone.. my question is .. the site of my tooth removal is still sensitive to the touch.. I went to the oral surgeon and he said since I am 62 it is taking longer to heal especially near the cut was to get the tooth out.. is this normal to still be sore after a month? Should I get another opinion.. thanks! The incision site does not look red but the doc said it is still a little inflamed but not infected.. I can feel the bone graft material will that fill in eventually? It is like a crater..what can I do to speed the healing? Will it be ready for an implant in a few months?

It just feels like the hole where the tooth was removed has not healed up.. like the sides are not coming together.. like an open crater.. will that eventually close up? Do I continue my salt rinses or alcohol free mouthwashes? Thanks so much!
