Widsom Teeth Question.. Pretty Important Posted: 06-04-06 22:43pm
Ok. I have 2 removed. Pain for 3 days,
then ok..
This was about.. 6 weeks ago I would
say.
I am now having sore gum in the bottom
tooth area.. And its bleeding some.. I
can taste the blood, not spitting it.
With my tounge I can feel a small semi
sharp point.. Got my parents to look at
it and was told it looks like a piece of a
tooth is still there and almost pushing
through the gum.
Can anyone tell me if this has happend to
you.. Why it happens? And how to fix it?
Will it go away or more surgery?
Thanks a ton!

Yep, that happened to me. Sometimes that
can happen. What it is is when they're
in there removing the wisdom teeth
sometimes bone fragments can result from
chipping of the bone during tooth
extraction.
Your body slowly works the bone fragments
out and it can pop out into your gum area.
It's not a big deal, but if it continues
and doesn't come out your dentist can
remove it.
Don't worry, this happens quite frequently
with wisdom tooth extraction.
