Pain: Anytime one experiences pain in their mouth, they should see a dentist to see what's causing it. It takes time for the socket and tissues to heal and mature following the removal of teeth. Whether or not it's normal or the cause of you discomfort would require a personal one-on-one clinical exam.

The healing tissue: Around the are of your extraction can be sore for several weeks after surgery. Yes it can be a "bump" and you should expect it to become less prominent and improve in soreness over time. Brush and clean the area carefully and yet thoroughly. If you don't notice improvement after 2-3 weeks please consult w your surgeon.

Can be: Yes. It is possible that scar tissue from an extraction can create a "bump" that can become tender if traumatized by a crust if toast, bacon, chop whatever. Mine's been there for 33 years--right side only--and can be quite painful at times. Get it checked to be sure of what it is, then you'll know the symptoms forever. Good luck!
