Sorry...I have YET ANOTHER question for you.


I was looking at my aftercare sheet and it said something about bone edges? They will dissapear 6-8 weeks after surgery.


I was just wondering what that is? 'Cause I have a little thing that feels like a bone on the top right side of my tooth (where it was removed) it's really hard to explain, but I can feel it hitting the side of my cheek and it's kinda sore.


I'm thinking about calling my doctor, they are going to think I'm physco.

Hey...


I know what you're talking about because it was on my sheet as well, it's where little bits of your jaw bone can work their way up through your incision after surgery, but I never actually had it happen.


If there's something that's bothering you though, it may be a good idea to call your dentist just to be sure things are healing up correctly. It was about 3 weeks later that I called mine due to the jaw stiffness and they said to come right on in. Believe me when I say that they are typically just as worried as you are when it comes to your healing and they'll do everything that they can to make sure things go smoothly.


Hope you're doing well otherwise!

Hey, I called my dentist today, and she said it sounded like boneedges and they usually work themseleves out. But if I was feeling at all worried, that I could come in at anytime. I couldn't go today, so I think I'll go on monday.


They said they dissapear usually 6-8 weeks after...and it's only been almost 3...so anywho. Will update.
