Problems after having wisdom teeth out?

I had one of my bottom wisdom teeth extracted 4 days ago, i didn't think ther was any problem at first, i got alot of swelling and bruising which was expected but i have been having a strange taste in my mouth since yesterday which is not tcp thing that he packed the wound out with before putting the stiches in, ive just took a closer look and i think there is a hole in my gum that hasnt been stitched properly, its pretty painfull, do u think i need to go back or will it heal on its own? i'm scared to eat incase something gets in there!

Problems after having wisdom teeth out?
from my own experience this is normal.... wait a few more days and it will get better. you must also watch for infections. the taste you descrbe is from the blood clot that was formed after the extraction. rinse frequently but gently to keep that hole cleared of food particles and such.
Reply:I would at least call them and ask about it. They will know if you need to come back in.
Reply:You need to go back to the denisit. I had the same thing!
Reply:Hey i had my wisdom teeth out about 2 months ago and i had the same thing happened to me. First things first that taste in your mouth could be one of two things either blood or an infection. I had a little bit of an infection and i called the dentist and he said i had to rinse my mouth with warm salt water and that helped alot it cleared up in about 2 days. The hole your feeling is where your tooth came out, its nothing to worry about but food will get stuck in there quit often just make sure you rinse really well with warm salt water. Hope everything works out for you. Maybe for the next couple of days try eating smaller soft foods like mashed potaes and things like that. Pops help too. Good luck!!
