White bone sharp thing on gum
I have extracted my lower first molar July'22. I have jaw pain for 3 years now And this molar was painful for tapping and biting pressure.So they said that tooth could be the reason for my jaw pain and extracted it. Had cbct scans and it didn't show anything wrong on that tooth. I had removed that tooth and unfortunately it didn't help. My symptoms remains the same. I have pain in second molar lower gums now. Severe throbbing pain on that gum and gum swollen. Took X-rays and ok. Dentist did SRP for tartar buildup. Still it's very painful in the gums of that tooth only. Other teeth gums were fine. I had SRP for right side of the mouth. I have some soreness in #46 gums also. But severe pain in #47 gum. I have to remove the white hard bump thing on my gum which is there for 9 months now after the extraction. Can I do the bone fragment removal on that socket when the gum is painful? The bone fragment is on the gum. Can we remove it when the gum is sore from SRP. SRP done yesterday.

it seems like you have been experiencing persistent pain and gum issues following the extraction of your lower first molar. It's possible that the extraction site may have developed complications such as an infection, bone fragment, or other issues that are causing your symptoms. If you have concerns about the gum pain and the presence of a white hard bump, it would be best to consult with your dentist or oral surgeon who can evaluate your condition. They will be able to determine the cause of your symptoms and recommend the appropriate treatment, which may involve removing the bone fragment or addressing any underlying infection or inflammation. Since you mentioned having undergone SRP (Scaling and Root Planing) recently, it's possible that the gum soreness and pain could be a temporary side effect of the procedure. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it's important to inform your dentist about it so they can assess the situation and provide appropriate guidance. Again, I recommend seeking professional dental advice from your dentist or an oral surgeon who can examine your condition in person, review your X-rays and medical history, and provide you with the most accurate diagnosis and treatment options for your specific situation.

Hello sometimes there are underlying hidden causes leading to gum/tooth pain which can be either periodontic or endodontic in origin ,so get urself checked by a specialist to know the actual reason behind your pain or else it may continue to bother you, n for the bony fragment yes u can remove it even after your srp done a while ago!! Is the picture taken before or after srp?? If taken before then fine but if taken after then the srp needs to be done right again as picture shows plaque remains at cervical portion of your tooth!!
