Bone loss in tooth
Dentist said I have bone loss on my second molar. I have severe pain on that tooth which is throbbing all the time. It gets worse when I lay down.
Why does pain increases when I lay down?
The second molar gum is very swollen and dentist said I can get SRP.
Whether the bone will grow again in that spot? How to recover from bone loss?
Does this tooth need to be extracted?

First of all , get scaling done . It will help to visualise the affected area more clearly . Bone growth depends upon factors like, how well you keep your oral hygiene clean, if you have any systemic issues.
Extracting it won't be a wise decision, it is healthy enough to save .
Next Steps
Visit a dentist and get a thorough examination done .
