Hi All,
13 days ago, I got a bone graft for 7 and 10 so that I can start thinking about getting implants done down the line (I haven't had teeth there for 10 years. They were lost as a result of a fall induced by a seizure).

The dentist removed the sutures and considered that I'm healing suprisingly well. In general, it's true, barely any swelling or pain. Now, though, the space in 7 feels a bit weird.Initially, it felt really bulky, like I had a weight up there. Now, when I talk, smile and chew, my lips move around above the gum and it feels like there something squishy or pointy inside.

I'm due for another check up on the 8th but hopefully it won't be something along the lines of "Well, guess it didn't work!" Any thoughts? Is this normal?

Thanks
E

I had a bone graft done for a front tooth that was removed (currently have an implant in and waiting for the crown). The extraction and bone graft were done at the same time and I was in pain for a few days. The only thing I remember is pieces of what looked like tiny fragments coming out of the extraction site which I believe was normal and stopped after a while. It could be some swelling still from the site where they did the bone graft, I would give it a few weeks and if it still feels uncomfortable, bring it up to your oral surgeon/dentist.
