If you find a bone spur in the gums after an extraction, you should not hesitate to ask for attention or help from your dentist. If the bone spicule is larger, or still embedded in the gums or jawbone, some type of anesthetic and a more involved procedure and might be required. In most cases, removal may only require a quick flick or tug of the offending piece with a dental instrument-no anesthetic required. What is the treatment for a bone spur in the gums? If the body does not discard the bone fragment, patients may simply give it more time or decide to undergo a minimally invasive procedure to remove the bone spur. In some cases, the body may break down the bone spur or work the bone fragment to a point where it falls out on its own (exfoliation). The development of bone spurs is part of a natural healing process. Will a bone spur in gum tissue go away on its own? Fortunately, the condition is benign and often treatable. Depending on the location of the bone spur, it may cause some chronic pain or irritation. Often a bone spicule feels rough to the tongue, like sharp slivers, a ledge, or chips of bone. Some bone spurs in the gums can even occur years later. But it can take several weeks or months to develop. Bone spurs usually appear in days following the extraction. Then, during the healing process, the body may reject the fragment and attempt to discard it, causing the bone spicule to migrate up and out of the jawbone and gums. While these practices remove most bone fragments, tiny pieces may still be left behind. They will also irrigate the socket to clear away debris. During the extraction, the dentist will use a curette or root tip pick to remove any remaining bone fragments. Conditions like spondylosis or osteoarthritis can also increase a patient’s risk of bone spurs.īone spurs in the gums most often occur after a tooth extraction or other oral surgery, especially if it was a more difficult procedure.

The types of possible fragments include tooth pieces, root tips, bone flakes, or remnants of a dental restoration. It is a small, sliver-like piece of bone left behind after bone damage or bone loss.
