[quote]I still have exposed bone where my molar came out but the tissue around it is healthy.[/quote]Hello, I am just 4 months post-tx and have had this condition too. It has been nearly six weeks and the dentist just says "looks good", come back in two weeks for a followup. The exposed part, maybe 5mm, seems to move a bit and tissue covers up the original exposed part. So, in a way improving but also moving so net zero.
He states the bone demineralizes and fades back which seems to be occurring but why does does new bone become exposed?
It causes a lot of pain up and down the side of my face and up into my skull. Do I just live with this or find a specialist cancer dentist?
