What Causes Painful Growth On The Gums After Tooth Extraction?

i went to the dentist and had all my teeth removed. its been three weeks and my gums were healing, but now they started getting sharp pointy things on them . almost feels like tooth or bone and are very painful. Also in the front of my mouth were a tooth had been broken ,I can still feel a tooth and see part of it. last but most important i can see whitish yellow goo on the holes my teeth once were. I've been taking my antibiotics. and rinsing as instructed. i have another app. in 4 days. should i go in sooner or wait. I'm not in any pain.

Hello,
Welcom to

There must be sharp Bony edges which you see. It some times happen when you do full mouth extraction.
Yes dentist are supposed to do do, take x ray if he is in doubt that some root stem may have remained there.
You must wait for the appointment if you don't have any issue.
Because you have done multiple extraction it will take some little more time to heal.

In case of sharp Bony edges, it needs to be corrected because it can delay the healing wound.

I hope you will find my answer helpful and will be doing good with your health.
Regards
