Part of tooth left after extraction?

[Always.Anxious]

Hi i had a 2 teeth extracted almost 2 weeks ago and 2 days after i could feel something sharp but it didn't worry me as I know you can get tiny fragments of bone which will come out by themselves. Its still there and sharp so I had my husband have a look yesterday and he took a pic,to me it looks like part of the tooth! I was going to upload a pic but i'm unsure of how to do this. Could it still just be bone fragements? I cant get to the dentist till next week so is it ok to leave it until then? Thanks in advance xx

It is most likely still bone fragments. In the very rare cases where a piece of tooth is left in place #1 Your dentist would let you know that happened and #2 It wouldn't start coming out a couple of weeks afterwards. If you can easily pull the piece out, that is ok to do. It's also ok to let it stay there until the dentist takes a look too. It shouldn't cause a problem (other than being slightly annoying) in the meantime.
