Generally speaking, after tooth extraction, the wound must be completely healed before inserting the tooth, and the alveolar socket will not be able to fully form bone tissue until 2-3 months after tooth extraction.
The front teeth have only one root, and the alveolar socket is small, and the recovery is faster, while the back teeth have many roots, and the alveolar socket often takes 1.5-2 months to grow flat, that is, there is no unevenness on the surface before the teeth can be inserted. Therefore, generally 2 to 3 months after tooth extraction is the best time for dentures.
In addition, since the alveolar bone of the original tooth root after tooth extraction is recovering, the bone tip may sometimes appear. If the symptoms are milder, the patient himself can wash his hands every morning and evening, rub it with his fingers, and massage the bone for about 10 days. The tip will disappear. If the bone tip is larger, you should go to the hospital for surgery. Under normal circumstances, when 1-2 teeth are extracted, most of the alveolar bone will not have the above-mentioned situation. Only after most of the teeth or the whole mouth are extracted, revision surgery is required.
Therefore, after tooth extraction, you should go to the stomatology department for a review within 1-2 weeks in order to perform alveolar bone repair in time and prepare for dentures
