What Is Seen in This Case

The image shows the lower jaw after recent tooth extractions, with visible sutures on both sides of the lower gum. The extraction sites appear open and healing, with mild redness in the surrounding gum tissue. This is expected shortly after dental surgery, but the area must be monitored closely for signs of infection or delayed healing.

The remaining teeth appear intact, and the soft tissue is in the early healing phase.

Thanks — I looked closely at the photo. I can’t give a definitive medical diagnosis from a single photo, but I’ll walk you through what I can see, the differences between normal healing / dry socket / infection, what to watch for, typical timelines, what the dentist will do, how things can get worse if left, and immediate self-care + next steps.
