nothing you said was really rude but it's very difficult to read and understand and have other people take you seriously and when you don't use any punctuation and make the entire post one long run-on sentence and you should actually read your post before you submit it to see what it looks like and when I see these types of posts I usually just quit reading it and go on to the next post because its just so painful to read one long stream of consciousness post when punctuation and proof-reading the post before you submit it is all it takes
You do realize that your entire post is one run on sentence. Yet, you are telling this kid that you don't want to read their post because it's a run on sentence.

Pot meet kettle.
I do believe you missed toofache's point. You might want to read his other posts.
Exposed jawbone and raging abscess in mouth after excision
In February 2016, an oral surgeon removed a shattered back, bottom tooth. #31 I think.
When I returned for my one week follow-up I asked "What is this sharp thing poking into my tongue? I am in extreme pain in the area of excision."
He said it was exposed jawbone and skin would cover it soon.
Five weeks later I returned and said "The point is sharp, the skin won't cover it because it pokes through the skin. I'm still in extreme pain. Can you shave it down?"
He said shaving it held a high possibility of causing paralysis of the right side of my face due to the bundle of nerves running through the area.
I asked "Would YOU do it if it was YOUR mouth?" He shook his head "no, the risk is too great".
Three months later, I now have an abscess in that area and infection in my lymph nodes. My regular dentist has me on Clindamycin but the infection rages on, I'm in PAIN, and the sharp bone is still there. I can't keep an exposed jawbone in a mouth full of bacteria, and I'm wondering WHAT would cause a smooth jawbone to have a sharp POINT on it.
If this is allowed to continue, I'm worried about the bacteria reaching my heart or brain.

Recently went to dentist for bone spur coming through gum on left wisdom tooth in the area beside my tongue. Can feel it whe I rub my tongue across it. Happened after eating popcorn and hurts to chew on that side. Dentist prescribed a antibiotic paste to apply 3 to 4 times a day. If it doesn't heal in a few days come back in and he will numb it up real good and go in and shave off the bone spur. And oh yeah, He let me know popcorn is no longer part of my diet.

I believe that popcorn is THE most single handedly destructive thing you can eat. I have shattered crowns and gotten husks wedged under my gumline causing infection from popcorn. It also is bad for the stomach. I never eat it anymore in any form, just not worth it....
I have a hole in my tooth and my gum is pushing out from it. when i especially unexpectedly lock my teeth together it causes pain. Any explanations? i have an appointment soon, i just want to be aware.
I would like to respond to dentist 101. I believe you are incorrect that shards only occur after extractions. I am 63, and the last time I had any teeth pulled was when I was about 20, so that’s 43 years ago. I’ve had several of these nasty little shards, and have one as of this date. I wouldn’t think it would take 43 years for a sliver to work its way out to the gum surface!
You also mention that they are “nothing to worry about”. The episodes I’ve had are excruciating. I’m unable to chew on the affected side, and if a bit of salt gets onto the exposed bone, it brings tears to my eyes. This tends to worry me.
pain bone protrudes months after wisdom tooth removal
I went to an oral surgeon on Aug 31. I had the upper and lower left wisdom teeth removed (even though I only had a cracked lower wisdom tooth that needed removal). The surgeon said they always take them out in pairs. I am not having a problem with the upper space, but the lower one has solid bone coming through the inside back gum area beside where the tooth was. At first, it seemed almost like a pimple that was very painful. I went to my regular dentist on Oct 11, and he said it was likely a bone fragment. When he got in there, he found that it was solid bone that would not move even though he drilled into it. Now, I feel another place behind the first one, and I can feel bone in both areas. This is the most painful sore mouth I have ever had. My regular dentist did not really say what to do about it except to take Ibuprofen, and he did not offer any antibiotics. I will call him tomorrow to see if there is anything else I can do. I sure won't have the other wisdom teeth removed on the left unless it is absolutely necessary. I read on another post that it is easier on a person when wisdom teeth are removed when you are younger. I am 74 years old, so maybe that is why I am having such a bad experience.
