Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I had an extraction a week ago. The tooth was loose, but broke during the extraction. The dentist got all the tooth without too much trouble. I ve had little to no pain in that area since the extraction, but I noticed a few days ago that above the extraction site, the gum looks split. I have to admit that I was a little too scared to look at the area before I finally did and noticed the split. It looks fine, but I m wondering if this is normal or if I should make an appointment to disrupt my day and drive an hour to the dentist.
[|AI|]  Hiafter the extraction process, the healing starts to take place. This happens by organization of blood clot in side the extraction site. As the new tissue starts forming from inside out the visible split will disappear and the gums will star to look and feel even and regular following the bone contour. So I would say that you don't need to see a dentist for this particular condition right now. You can relax and carry on with your work for now, but as I tell my every patient that they must get the oral and dental examination done every 6 months so same I will tell you. Take care
