I'm a bit worried because I recently had my wisdom teeth removed on June 17th, and just got my stitches out on June 24th. There's this gap now that seems quite visible, and I can even see a part of the tooth in there. The dentist didn't say much except to come back in 15 days, but I'm wondering if this gap might lead to an infection, especially with my eating habits. Could you tell me what I should or shouldn't be doing in the meantime?

The visible gap and exposed tooth fragment after wisdom teeth removal are common concerns; to minimize risks of infection or complications, avoid chewing hard or sticky foods, brushing too aggressively, or using a straw for 2-3 weeks; maintain good oral hygiene with gentle saltwater rinses and soft-bristled toothbrush; and schedule a follow-up appointment with your dentist as recommended to assess healing progress and address any concerns
