How To Treat Excessive Gum Skin Tissue After A Tooth Removal?

I just got all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled today and I experienced some bleeding around 7 hours post-op. The blood did stop after applying gauze for an expended amount of time along with ice. I do I have some skin in my mouth, most likely a clot, that is just hanging in there. How long until it dissolves?Coll

Hi..
Thanks for the query.

Well, skin hanging inside mouth and to know what exactly it is first of all I would like to know the exact site where it is present.
Is it hanging out from extraction socket or is it protruding from mucosa of the cheek.
If it is hanging from extraction socket then it can be most probably the healing tissue or the blood clot that might be dislodged.
If it is from the cheek mucosa then it can be probably a fibrous tissue overgrowth or fibroma..
So to pinpoint the exact cause and suggest treatment this information is a must..
Please provide the following information so that I can guide you accordingly..

Hope this helps..
