Hi, I hope someone will be able to help. I had a tooth extracted in April ( the second from back tooth on botom left). It went pretty well and seemed to heal fine however lately I have had three small shards of bone work their way to the surface which I have removed with tweezers and then since a couple of weeks ago I have had lumps form on the extraction site that produce pus when I squeeze them (sorry I know that is horrible - I have to wipe it with kitchen roll to remove it). I don't have any pain and there doesn't feel like there is any pressure there.
Any advice /info would be really gratefully received as I am not due back at the dentist untill the beginning of September.
Thanks in advance, Kerry :)
 
If pus is coming out, it needs to be looked at. Make an appointment with your dentist.
 
Thanks Gordon. Do you think that it is a bit of bone that has got stuck?
 
That would be the most likely thing, unless a wee bit of root fragment was left behind.
