[|Human|] I got a tooth exstracted a few days ago, now that some healing has happened i noticed a few areas where bone appears to be sticking out. research tells me the gums will eventually healover them or have them grinded down, but is it ok to just leave it exsposed even if the gums dont heal over or will it cause infection (or worse) to do that?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The socket will be healing in 7-10 days, and it takes around 15 days for the socket to close completely and covered with the gums. If the gums are not covering and the bone is exposed then consult oral maxillofacial surgeon and get it cleaned and irrigated with saline and Betadine. If necessary get the bone reduced and sutures placed. You can take a course of antibiotics when you get this procedure done. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
