I had a traumatic extraction of #31, 2 months ago, after a failed retreatment root canal. I have had recurring bone “splinter/spurs” and jaw pain ever since. The first “splinter” was easily removed by my dentist and I felt relief of pain almost immediately. It was short lived because again I felt I was “cutting” a “tooth” from the tongue side of my jaw bone. I patiently waited for the “splinter” to work its way out but it didn’t and my dentist surgically removed the bone “spur” last Monday with the promise that “It isn’t normal for them to form this far out” and “We got it this time”. I again feel the end of a bone spur sticking out (with the temperature sensitivity that accompanies the pain) and the sensation of "cutting" of a larger piece at the base of # 30. I also have boney growths (Torres?) on my lower jaw. How can this be treated or the formation of bone stopped??? What is the end result?
