Question:
I had two top back teeth pulled,now i feel bone & slivers where the teeth were pulled.is this normal?
i have been back to the dentist and he pinched off a sharp edge and said the hole where the two teeth were pulled may take several months to heal. this has never happened before.the feeling of the bone is driving my tounge crazy. any suggestions?...
Answers:
It will take some time for the bone to fill in the area, I understand what you mean - I felt the same way. Also, the "slivers" are not uncommon either, I have had patients with the same experience. They will work their way out, or if they are troublesome enough see the dentist and have them removed. Good luck!
