It could happen!!!: Could happen that at the moment of the surgical extraction, bone spicules may have been left inadvertently, and during the healing process those spurs arose. You need to go back to your dentist, he will take an x-ray and remove it without any major inconvenience. Good luck.

It depends : On what age the wisdom teeth erupted. Traditionally wisdom teeth would erupt in the 18-20 + year window but nowadays kids develop younger and younger. Best to be seen by your md or dds if of concern.

Unrelated: Whatever growth spurt a patient experiences is INDEPENDENT of wisdom tooth extraction. For best results, make sure patient is evaluated and treated by a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon.
