thanks for your query i have gone through your query, the pulled out gums could be because of the trauma or tear in the flap during tooth removal. it could have been approximated properly during suturing the opened flap or pulled away flap. if it trouble then consult your dentist and get it irrigated with saline and betidine. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
