I think I may have figured out what the hell is causing all the pain in the site of the extraction. It seems a shard of tooth/bone was left in there after the extraction and is currently making it's way out of the gum.
I've been taking regular photos of the inside of my mouth as it has gone through the healing process. As of yesterday I was feeling something of a lump but today it seems to have broken through the newly forming gum.
Leave it be and let it come out on it's own or should I make an appointment with the dentist that did the initial extraction?
I remember when I had my wisdom teeth removed when I was 19 I had a shard of tooth come out the side of my gum and I reached in and ripped it out via fingernail. I want to reach in there and snag it with a pair of sterilized tweezers but I just can't get a good angle to see what the hell I am doing in there.
/just checked and the dentist's shop is closed due to Covid-19. Fantastic.
