Probably not...: But it is always better to have your dental surgeon take a look in these circumstances.

Get It Checked: Several things that could be. Most likely, a stitch poking out, a small piece of bone, or perhaps small particles of a bone graft or the "membrane" which is often used to cover it. In either case, your dentist/surgeon should take a look, just to make sure it isn't going to compromise your long-term success. Whether it's minor or major, he/she will tell you, fix it, and you'll feel good knowing
