Deep hole from the extraction site
Posted by:

My second molar on the bottom left side was extracted five days ago. The dentist did not stitch the extraction site. Now, I have a deep hole in there. Will it ever close on its own or is suturing necessary? Please help! Any information would be highly appreciated.

You would have had a big hole whether the dentist put stitches in or not. It will slowly close over about 6 weeks.
