What Is The Long Skin Hanging From The Tooth After The Extraction Of Teeth?
A week ago tomorrow I had four teeth pulled including a wisdom tooth that was ajacent to a rotten tooth. This required stitches both of the stitches have fallen out but I have a long piece of skin hanging that resembles chicken fat that seems to still be attached to the socket.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction now you feel like skin hanging from socket dont worry it is Periodontal flap of tooth extracted.
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Take proper antibiotic course prescribed by your dentist.
Consult your dentist again for Follow up after one week.
Hope this will help you.
