Okay so I got all four of them removed on the 9th. So it's been about 10 days, my top left one is completely closed already, the other top one is on it's way to being finished closing. But the bottom two are still pretty deep, the bottom left more so than the bottom right. I keep getting food stuck in there. My dentist didn't give me a stupid syringe, so I have to swish, they're healed enough to do that, I "so far" don't have dry socket on them, but I want to know what you guys think. How long will it take?

I had to move my cheek to the side with one of those flosser thingers, but here's the hole, it's kind of big.. .

It can take a few weeks until socket closes. Just keep it clean. Why don't you ask your pharmacist for one of the syringes they give to parents for administering liquid medicines to kids? You could get back there and gently flush it out. The dentist who took the teeth out should actually give you one if you call and ask.

Yeah I think I might do that, but getting there might be a problem because we only have one car and it's about a half hour drive. =/ Do you think they sell some cheap at drugstores? I've been using the mouthwash stuff he gave me. It's called Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.12% Oral Rinse

That is a great rinse except it stains the teeth. Yes, the drugstore will carry something for you. Tell the pharmacist why you need it, I'm sure he/she will know exactly what to recommend.

So far I haven't gotten any stains from it, But thanks for answering! So does it look healthy to you from what you can see? I'ts the bottom left one. It's sort of bad resolution.

It looks just fine. Stop worrying! You have nice teeth. Did you have braces?
