Do loose bodies in jaw need to be removed surgically?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Context needed: Actual location, provenience, possible interference with function, such as speech or chewing, all matter, and a thorough discussion with your treating surgeon should take place. If no current relatable symptoms, surgery can definitely be elective at a time you and your surgeon mutually decide.
