Hi
I got a back lower left Molar extracted 10 days ago. 5 days after i had to go to dentist again and get a dressing for a dry socket. I then went back another couple of days later as still sore and was advised there was pus. So again it was cleaned and dressed and i am now on Amoxicillin. I'd say that the pain from the dry socket just starting to ease although i have had a sore throat since the initial extraction and still do. However what i am more concerned about is the piece of bone showing through my gum near the extraction. It's quite sharp when felt with my tongue and is probably the part that is still sore and doesn't feel as if my gum has healed over any of it at all.. Will my gum eventually grow over this piece of bone? I have attached a pic. Sorry for quality. Thanks
