Help !!! Can someone tell me what is growing from the site where i had my tooth extracted

I had my right and left back bottom teeth extracted a little under a year ago. Now there is a growth coming from the right back one. it is not painful. Can someone help me figure out or know what this is?

I think we need a little more info - color, texture, hardness, etc. This could be anything from another tooth to a gestating alien ...

One way or another, you probably ought to get it looked at - if you can bring yourself to revisit the dentist.

Hi to the forum.

It could be a bit of bone, sometimes after an extraction you can get pieces of bone that come through the gum. I had one that gave me trouble for weeks until I got it out and that was a long time after I had had the tooth removed.

I would go to the dentist though and have it checked out to be sure what it is because without it being seen in person and maybe an x ray no one can say what it is for sure.
