After dental cyst surgery, complications like infection, bleeding, dry socket, and nerve damage can occur. While some are minor, severe infections like sepsis or uncontrolled bleeding can be life-threatening

Question

Looking for recommendations on the best hospital and doctor in Bangalore for jaw surgery, specifically jaw joint replacement. Need expert advice on where to go for this procedure

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?

Question

I'm getting my wisdom tooth removed surgically soon and I'm not sure whether to go for normal sutures or dissolvable ones what's the difference and which one's better Also how long does the surgery usually take
