I lost a few teeth last year due to the bone necrosis I have from my radiotherapy 10 years ago... Its ok I was warned... One of my teeth, my right lower canine, I actually pulled out myself, they just lost all the bone to support them, I lost 4 in total, no biggie... got some nice new falsies now.
The last few days though I was having some odd issues with a sore at the extraction site of that canine.. it seemed to be a scab on the gum, which was odd because it was hard, scabs in the mouth tend to go mushy..
But no this was a scratchy one and when I tried to pick at it or whatever it just bled and seemed to go, then come back a few hours later.
With almost superhuman effort I avoided messing with it for a few days to see if it would heal.. it didn't but it did get a little bigger.
So much so that I was going to call the dentist to make an urgent appontment, but I tried one last time to pick it off... with my guitar nails... and out it popped.. It was the remains of a tiny fragment of tooth that must have been left behind when I pulled it, just the tip but tooth for sure.
My body must have pushed it up to the exit point... remarkable, I didn't know that was even a thing..
This actually explains why my gums had an unexplained infection earlier this year when I was being fitted for my falsies, had to go on AB's to fix it, but there was no clear reason for the infection... Almost certainly it was my body telling this tooth fragment to do one.
Anyway, its out, the site will heal again and no need for emergency dentist, I'll let her know about it next checkup.
