Hi, Bryanna,

Here I attached the picture for your reference. You see there are three missing teeth. The left one and middle one were pulled out last Oct, and now it has been 5 months, bone inside still not filled up. Especially the left one, it was a front tooth, it got press hurt on gum during the first month after extraction, then the pain disappear but now x Ray shows there is only a very little build up there. I'm so afraid that it ends up with a cavitation although my dentist says there is no sign of infection or cavitation at least now. I heard if after extraction x Ray still shows an outline of the tooth it has a potential cavitation.is that true? Please give me some suggestion, I'm still a nursing mother,is it because of this so the healing inside is so slow?
