Even having the tooth out five months down the line I still left with very sore gums any suggestions

Q. In January of this year I was experiencing chronic toothache and sore gums but the dentist couldn`t find anyting wrong with my teeth. several fillings were removed and replaced and still i was getting toothache. I went to see a root canal specialist who couldn`t find anything really wrong but suggested the tooth came out.Since the tooth coming out I have had several pieces of bone appearing which have had to be removed and my gums are still store and I still feel there is bone coming through although an x ray revealed no more tissue or bone should come through. I saw a facial consultant and he originally thought i had an abccess. so even having the tooth out five months down the line i am still left with very sore gums. any suggestions as i don`t know where to go next

A. It sounds like you’ve explored all the normal channels, i guess if the facial surgery department don’t know then it will be difficult to find out the cause. I guess the last resort would be referral to a specialist teaching hospital such as the Eastman in London
