Is Small, Painful Hole In Jaw Due To History Of Cutting Jaw Bone For Removal Of Molars Normal?

I had a couple of molars removed several years ago. The dentist had to cut part of my jaw bone away to get one tooth out. Now, for the first time, I have a small hole there that is painful like a cancer sore. E-mail address is YYYY@YYYY

hi

thanks for writing in.

In complicated extractions bone cutting is done but it heals with passage of time.
Still if you have this problem, do warm saline rinses thrice a day.
Start with a course of antibiotic & analgesic
Consult your dentist for further examination & treatment plan.
