Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / January 2005x-ray
I just had the last 14 teeth removed just before xmas I had a few jags to numb my gums and they were removed in the one sitting the day after I had some pain in my gums and felt something hard in the socket I went back to the dentist and she removed a piece of bone .Now I have found another piece of bone in the same socket and more in another 4 sockets I also have 2 lumps in my gum.Shoul the dentist x-ray my gums to make sure she gets all further pieces of bone removed thanks for reading > I just had the last 14 teeth removed just before xmas I had a few jags to > numb my gums and they were removed in the one sitting the day after I had [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > pieces of bone removed > thanks for reading Usually unnecessary, unless there is particular discomfort in one or another area. Some of these small fragments don't show up too well on x-ray. BTW, it is not unusual to have a couple of pieces of bone push through the gum, esp. if the teeth were badly infected.

This is a completely different situation from a routine sequestration after an extraction. Quite likely you will need to be managed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Again, do not wait--if you even think you may have osteoradionecrosis. Steve SignatureMark & Steven Bornfeld DDS http://www.dentaltwins.com Brooklyn, NY 718-258-5001 who told you you have osteoradionecrosis??? and from what source???? Did or do you have oral cancer and had radiation therapy in the mouth???? >who told you you have osteoradionecrosis??? and from what source???? >Did or do you have oral cancer and had radiation therapy in the >mouth???? I believe the diagnosis was made by Jan Drew ... over the internet of course. Joel |
