Hi Jay,
Thanks for posting the pic.... but it was a bit blurry
So I cannot tell what those bumps are. Although they look too raised to be canker sores. Do they feel tender or sore? How long have they been there?
I would advise that you avoid eating on that side as much as possible. Let that surgical hole close over more.
Glad you have no pain or swelling!
Bony fragments that are covered by gum tissue will not fee sharp. They will feel that way once they break completely through the gum.
If you were to press on one of those bumps gently with a q tip (not your finger) does anything come out of it like pus or blood? Does it move at all or feel squishy?

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
