Dear Lori,
I have been dealing with Rheumatology appointments, but I know that I need to shift back to my oral health now because this sharp point of "bone" on the upper gum is not working its way out. I wanted to ask you if I should see the dentist or the oral surgeon about removing this sliver. Thank you, once again I am so grateful that you are with me on this journey.

Hi Holly, I’m not exactly sure whom you should call either. Our dental office performed oral surgery and extractions so we were in the position to remove little bone spurs. It’s usually not complicated as they are near the surface. Since your oral surgeon did the extractions they may be the person to actually do the followup. But I also know their schedules are usually pretty full.

Ok, here’s a plan: I think the easiest would be to call your dentist office. Mention that there is a bone spur working its way to the surface and you’re wondering if the dentist can remove it or if you need to call the oral surgeon.

There’s no harm in calling either one. But your dentist may want to see you to make sure the denture is fitting properly and may be able to ‘encourage’ that little sliver out.
Have you tried any adhesive yet?
