What Causes Small Rough Patch On The Gums Where The Wisdom Tooth Was Removed?
I have a small rough patch on my gums right by where my wisdom tooth was extracted 30 years ago. I am told it is probably just callous, but I recall that at one point while I was recovering from the tooth extraction, some bone slivers emerged. Is this normal?

it is absolutely normal.. ur gums must be hurt during the surgery and hence callus appeared. sharp bone appearing during healing is acceptable as it is remodeled during healing.
