    Bump in mouth after wisdom tooth removal
    Hi there,

    I got 2 of my wisdom teeth out about 3-4 weeks ago and I believe it is fully healed. However, today I noticed that my left side of my mouth was hurting while I was eating. I looked in the mirror and I saw a small bump on the area where my tooth was removed. It hurts when I touch it and it looks rounded. It is also adjcanent to the tooth before it. Anyone know what it is and what's causing it? Thanks a lot.

    It could possibly be a bone chip or some food got stuck in the socket where the wisdom tooth came out. Swish the area with warm salt water and call the dentist to have him/her check the area.
