<s>[INST] I just had my wisdom teeth removed a little over a week ago. I noticed that there's some skin that's "stuck" next to my molar on the bottom, right next to where the hole is. Is this normal? Is this my body's way of healing, and re-attaching the gums together again? [/INST] Hello, Thanks for consulting HCM,  Read your query, as you have undergone extraction now you feel of residual skin dont worry this skin can be mucoperiosteal flap raised during extraction and this is normal skin of oral mucosa it helps you in healing and closure of extraction socket . If you have pain or bad odor like symptoms then consult your dental surgeon for examination of socket , follow post operative instructions given by dentist , take proper course of antibiotics prescribed by your dentist. Hope this will help you. Wishing you good health.Regards, Dr. Priyanka tiwari </s>
