What does mean if you can see bone sticking out after wisdom tooth extraction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exposed bone: After the removal of any tooth a small area of exposed bone can occur. Your dentist or surgeon who performed the surgery can advise you if the exposed bone will require any additional treatment or if the bone will remodel and resorb without additional surgery.
