hi Bryanna,

I'm still around though I don't comment much since Dentistry is not my field of expertise

Well its been abt 2 months since I had the tooth extracted the one that had spread into the jaw (at least that's what the xray indicated). So far no symptoms at all except the ridge on the gum has two slightly raised bumps which might be cause I have a habit of chewing on that side. The bumps are like tiny canker sores, they don't feel sharp like a sliver of bone trying to make its way out(I wouldn't rule it out). I wondered if perhaps it is a residual infection from before except there's no pain or swelling of the jaw or socket. Thought it would be a good idea to get yr input on it.
Pic attached.

PS: Never did take anything beyond the initial course of amoxicillin

Best regards

Thanks

J
