Bone: It might be a sharp edge of bone sticking out through the gingiva. Please see your oral surgeon for a follow up visit.

Go back: Go back to the General Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon that removed the tooth. Post-surgical care is included in the price you paid for your surgery. It's probably a simple fix.
