Hello. I had a molar  extracted. Tooth absorption. My gum felt like it was split on the side. I looked at it and there is a split. Its while in color, round with a slit in the middle. Thats the raw spot.  Is that normal?  Its tender of course. Had this done 4 days ago. Thanks
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The break over the ridge is common secondary to tooth removal because of the socket, but if it is on the chewing side or tongue side, it can be because of the trauma to the gums surrounding the tooth. Nothing to be panic, you can use topical anesthetic and analgesic like lidocaine and choline salicylate respectively. Do saline gargling. It takes another 3 days to heal completely. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
