I got the same thing. Mines been out about 6 weeks and the spot is still the same, doesnt seem to bother though. The only thing that bothers is the tooth in front of the one they pulled

Hi sweetgirl,
The small hard white bump could be a bony spur/splinter or the bony ridge of the jawbone where the gum has become tight against it. Some bony spurs/splinters come out on their own and others are removed relatively simply by the dentist. If the area gets red, swollen or sore, or if you are concerned about what it is exactly, see your dentist to evaluate it. Bryanna Quote:
