I have a bone spur coming through my gum?

Question

I had my wisdom teeth pulled about 30 years ago and had bone spurs that had to be removed after that. I had a tooth filled a couple of weeks ago back by where my wisdom tooth was. I had a bone spur after that coming through my gum back where my wisdom tooth used to be. The dentist removed it and now I have another one coming through. Will it work it's way out or do I need to go back to the dentist? Isn't it odd to get bone spurs 30 years after an extraction? I don't know if the filling played a part in this happening.

Answer 1

Maybe you're special

your wisdom teeth never seem to give up..

Give him a chance...

Answer 2

Joe Dimaggio played with a bone spur in his right heel, but he pulled through.

YOU CAN DO IT.

p.s.:  go back to the dentist - it may work its way out,  but you need confirmation in lieu of finding it moves its way to somewhere that will cause an infection or abscess.  A simple x-ray and you'll be on your way.
