What Causes Polyp Like Growths Over Bottom Of Tooth Extractions Sites?

I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled 3 or 4 months ago. I have developed polyp like growths over both bottom extractions sites. One is becoming very painful. Is it normal healing or should i be concerned? I have never smoked and was very careful with my post op care..

thanks for your query, i have gone your query. the growth could be a socket granuloma. it is not normal. take a radiograph to rule out any left out root piece. if the growth is troubling get it surgicallly excised. if any root pieces are there get it extracted. do saline gargling and take antibiotics and analgesics.
