So I had my wisdom teeth pulled, and I noticed a tiny bump that was very hard by one of the sockets, I ignored it and it's been about 6 months and suddenly the spot hurt, a LOT. To the point I couldn't even smile without it hurting and this all happened in a matter of in 24 hours from no pain. I went to the Dentist on the 3rd day and they said it was a bone spur (I thought maybe it was some sort of infection) and after a quick glance the dentist saw two spurs, and then used a "bone file" to get rid of them. I was numbed so I felt nothing but now I'm not sure what really happened. Did the dentist make an incision and file my jaw directly? Or did they file through my gums, or what? I had to hold some gauze there for like 30 minutes as I was bleeding, I'm just trying to understand if this was a jagged socket that was poking through my gums or what. Thanks!
