Wisdom Teeth/Jaw Issues?

About 10 months or so ago I got a wisdom tooth on the bottom right side of my mouth removed and it healed up nicely but my only concern is that there seems to be a piece of bone or something resting in there, just under the healed gums. It doesn't hurt but it feels really weird if I open mouth a little too wide or move my jaw sideways. It hasn't popped through yet and it can't be good for bone to just hang around in my gums. Does anyone know what the heck is going on? Is this normal, especially after 10 months?

    I had a wisdom tooth removed more than 30 years ago. Last year, I suddenly had a piece of broken tooth pop thru the gum. It's not un usual at all. You can have your dentist that did the surgery remove it, ot your regular dentist can. If it doesn't bother you and isn't infected, you can wait.

    i wish you visited your Dentist for a positioned up operative verify up and he ought to have cautioned a muscle relaxant drugs on your project. awareness enamel elimination consists of putting out your mouth for an prolonged time, so your jaw muscular tissues might have become stiff, basically like a sprain, so dont panic, take the muscle relaxant and do the jaw excercise or basically use a chewing gum to grant person-friendly interest on the surgical treatment section.while you're no longer ok in 3 days pass on your dentist for a positioned up op dental xray,he will remedy your project if any

    HELLO,

    THIS IS MOST LIKELY A SMALL PIECE OF BONE WHICH YOUR BODY WILL GRADUALLY RESORB. IF IT DOESN'T HURT JUST LEAVE IT ALONE.
