I had several teeth extracted on November 20th in prep for a denture. Im now experiencing large flaps of skin coming off the extraction sites, pain, and lots of sharp bony pieces cutting into my tongue, gums and inside cheeks as well as causing my upper pallet to bite down on the inside of my bottom lip and irritating that as well. Of course this is happening on a weekend. Is this cause to be alarmed and go to an ER or is this normal? I also spikd a fever of 100.3 and have a sore throat and headache.  I am a septic shock survivor so Im very worried and anxious.
Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Since you have got multiple extractions done in your jaw therefore you are experiencing open flaps in the jaw. It is best to see your dentist and get them sutured(stitched). This will not only enhance healing but reduce interferences. Even the bony spicules which are irregular can be smoothed by an instrument called longer. Presently there is no hurry you can do warm saline rinse very gently and see your dentist within two days. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
