How to help with slivers of bone from lower gum protruding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your dentist: Bone doen not normally protrude from your gingival tissue and is usually seen after an extraction. If so, see the dentist who extracted your teeth so that the bone can be smoothed down. The pieces may also be shards of broken tooth... You still need to see a dentist.
