Hi Chris,

The tip of the tooth socket.... do you mean at the gum line edge or above the gum line where the roots were?

Did you have a fistula (pimple like bump on the gum) prior to the extraction? How many times was this tooth root canaled and did it ever have a surgical procedure called an apicoectomy?

He didn't do an Xray or bone graft nor has he referred me to an oral surgeon but said I feel its still at a very early healing stage and I'm hoping it will get better itself what you think?
