Hi vRap,
Ok.... it is important to know that a deep pocket behind that molar is not a good thing because food will keep getting trapped in there and infection will occur. Did they offer you any suggestions on how to manage that area?
Exposed bone is never ok.... are you sure that is what it is? Did you show this area to the dentist?

So i guess that is good news, she stuck the syringe right into the hole where the pocket was ( i could feel it like really deep maybe touching bone) and she rinsed out and said it was a good clean.
Another question, on my top right where the top wisdom teeth was pulled out, to the outside of the gum i can feel exposed bone, is that normal?
Thanks
