I've been taking regular photos of the inside of my mouth as it has gone through the healing process. As of yesterday I was feeling something of a lump but today it seems to have broken through the newly forming gum.
Leave it be and let it come out on it's own or should I make an appointment with the dentist that did the initial extraction?
I remember when I had my wisdom teeth removed when I was 19 I had a shard of tooth come out the side of my gum and I reached in and ripped it out via fingernail. I want to reach in there and snag it with a pair of sterilized tweezers but I just can't get a good angle to see what the hell I am doing in there.
/just checked and the dentist's shop is closed due to Covid-19. Fantastic. |
It’s not abnormal to have some bone work it’s way out. If it’s painful you may wanna see it you can get someone to take it out. Usually it resolves in its own
