It felt great until last week. I had yet another tooth crack and I had to chew on this area where the piece of bone was. Well the jagged edge poked through the gum again! It hurts all the time even though its fairly small. They told me before that it would remodel or soften up, but it is now ten weeks. Do they have to snip or smoooth it? How long is a reasonable time to wait?

It is best to have the site evaluated by an oral surgeon.
