Case Description
Had Lower right molar removed in August and gum seemed to heal ok. In late November, rough place on inside lower gum with what appears to be "saw-tooth" edge of a tooth visible (was told it was jaw bone that was too rough for gum to heal). No pain, but very sore to touch in area below "gum" line.
Recently moved to this area... Should I go ahead and have something done now or would it be ok to wait until mid/late January when will be able to return to oral surgeon that removed the tooth.
Does treatment require oral surgeon?
Thanks

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
