It is not uncommon for patients to discover pieces of the bone or tooth working their way to the surface of the extraction site after the removal of wisdom teeth. This is known as a “bone spur” and is a common occurrence so no need to worry. If pieces of the tooth’s bony socket break off, your body will naturally begin to reject them, causing them to penetrate through your gum tissue. Normally, they eventually come out on their own. If this does not happen, please give our office a call and Dr. Klausner can easily remove any remaining fragments.
