Visitor asks:

Please explain this to me. The wisdom tooth has been extracted, but what is that white and hard thing now next to tooth 7? The wisdom tooth itself is whole and undamaged after extraction (I have it at home).

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam!

Judging from what you have written, I think you may be seeing the edge of the bone. Deposits or a dying edge of the gum could also look similar. Usually everything described disappears after a few days.

Have a nice day!
