I am 44 years old and had my wisdom teeth taken out 9 days ago. I am in a lot of pain. there is a large hole and cut in the gum line . It appears that a large chunk of bone was broken out and all of my gum is gone next to the last two teeth. will the hole in the bone and the gum line repair itself?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have undergone wisdom tooth extraction, now you have pain in extraction socket, as you said you have pain and feeling of bone it can be formation of Dry Socket , so for this you go to dentist and get proper Irrigation of socket and Zinc oxide eugenol pack on socket so that healing of socket can occur ,
If Bony spicule is there in socket go for Alveoloplasty ,
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day and take medications advised by your dentist,
Hope this will help you.
Wish you good health.
