Should i still have bone chips coming out 6 months after full teeth extraction and alveoplasty?
i'm a 35 yr old woman, in general good health. jan 3rd this yr i had 22 teeth extracted. no sutures were placed and the gum tissue opened completely causing 90% exposure of the upper and lower jaw line. on jan 10th an oral surgeon performed alveoplasty on all 4 quadrants. over the last 6 mths i have had many bone chips come out through the gums. right now i have 3 very sore partially open spots on the right rear of my lower gum line. two of the places i can visualize bone. my guess is it is more bone chips but the pain is pretty intense. i would compare it to a severe tooth ache. i do not know what to do. i am sick of going to the oral surgeon with this same issue repeatedly and begin to feel they believe i am only seeking pain meds. i do not want pain medicine. i can handle the pain but i need to know this will end and i will at last be past all of the pain and finally completely healed. as it seems now each time i believe i am ready to go back to work more bone chips appear and cause me not to be able to wear my dentures. i need to get on with my life but how do i help this process along.?
