Suggestion Of Advise For Exposed Bone In The Mouth

I went to the dentist today with what I thought was a canker sore that had turned into an infection or abscessed tooth...but to my surprise he said it is exposed bone and I need to go to the oral surgeon. He asked if I had any trauma or been on any medication and I haven't had either.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the exposed bone because of the osteomyelitis that is infection of the bone secondary to tooth infection. the infection can spread from the tooth or gum to involve the bone. or it can be because of chronic trauma or fungal infection. consult your oral physician to rule out all these things, take a radiograph to rule out the tooth infection and bony changes. then take a course of antibiotics and currettage of then necrosed area. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
