Pain and object where wisdom tooth was
For about a month and a half, I’ve had pain behind my last bottom molar on the right side- where my wisdom tooth was. I had all four wisdow teeth removed 5 years ago, they were all impacted. Just this weekend I noticed there is now a lump in the painful place and there is a white pointy object poking out of my gums. It looks like part of a tooth or bone. What could this be and what should I do?

Likely to be a little piece of root. Please consult a dentist. It can be removed easily
