Go back to dentist: Or find a dentist who opens his or her mouth to talk and is able to communicate. This is essential for your future dental health.

Trauma or decay: If you are talking about the buccal wall of the alveolus [bone] it was either the trauma of the extraction or the periodontal germs that "ate" up the bone.
