Hi I got my wisdom tooth extracted about 2 weeks ago the extraction has healed but I can feel tiny hard lump with my toungue on the side of the extraction on the inner side of my mouth. its white and when I touch it with my finger it feels hard like a tooth or bone. Is this normal and if it is a piss of tooth will it come out on its own or will I need to get it surgical removed?
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. Since you had an extraction of tooth, that tiny lump can be some bones edge or protrusion. In order to rule out remaining tooth fragment, I suggest you visit your dentist once and get a radiograph done. If it's a bony protrusion, it can be smoothened with a bone file. A tooth fragment (chances of which are minimum) can be judged according to position, if it requires intervention or will resort. Hope the answer helps. Thank you!
