Exposed bone lingual area # 31 post tooth extraction resulting in chronic pain?

See Orofacial Pain: They are the expert in neuropathic pain, especially after dental treatment. Vicodin is not a drug of choice for chronic neuropathic pain. Most of the debate about the role of opioids in chronic pain management is based upon both the safety and efficacy of these drugs and the potential for abuse.

See Oral Surgeon: The exposed bone may be the result of a sharp edge of the tooth socket that is peeking through the gingiva. The bone needs to be smoothed down to give the gingiva a little more room.... once smoothed, the gum should close over the wound and you should be fine.
