What Could The Loose Skin In Mouth Which Causes Irritation After Teeth Extraction Be?
Hello. I am a 15 year old male, and I had three of my teeth removed yesterday morning. At one of the extraction sites, there is loose skin. It keeps getting in the way of my tongue. I rinsed my mouth yesterday night, and some pieces of the loose skin fell out of my mouth. However, I do not know what to do with the rest of the loose skin. It is very irritating. Should I pull it out gently, or wait for it to come out by itself? Or is there anything else I should do?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have undergone extraction of tooth now, you feel loose skin dont worry it is unhealed socket .
Take proper course of antibiotics prescribed by your dentist, and wait for 15 days atleast for healing of socket.
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
After one week of you wont get relief then go and consult your dentist for oral examination .
Hope this will help you.
