It is not normal: See your dentist ASAP to rule out and prevent chronic mandibular osteomyelitis. Do not delay!

See dentist: may have residual tooth particles or infection.

Could be bone chip: after extractions there are often bits of bone that are rejected by the body and work their way out through the gums over time. If a piece is just under the surface it could make a sore spot. If it isn't a bone chip or bone spur something may be going on. Either way see your dentist to have it checked out. Good luck.

See dentist: See dentist who did extractions. It may or may not be related to the previous extraction.
