Bone Spurs/Spicules

[Brendielee1967]

So had 2nd molar removed on left side on July 6th..had curvy root and was told it was a real pain to get out but they got it out. It's now July 15th I've been in the office almost everyday getting them pulled out. Friday I was told not enough to surface on newest ones to pull out but that my gums were very angry and swollen looking still and not healing as fast as they'd like. Gave me stronger pain medication (pain was going into my ear)...takes edge off for about an hour.

Waiting 2 more days to get back in there to have them tray to take these latest ones out. Is it normal to have so many? Why is it still swollen?

Any advice or input from anyone who's had similar is appreciated.

Thanks!

Yes you can expect bits of bone fragments to make its way to the surface of the gum in the first 3 months.
