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?

Dear Lori, As soon as I read your reply, I relax and feel that I know what to do. You always give me a plan to move forward with and having a plan makes my anxiety go away. So I called the dentist and they told me to call the oral surgeon. I got an appointment with the oral surgeon, but as you said, they usually have a full schedule so he can't see me until next week. I should be fine until then, because it does not hurt.
I have not tried any adhesive yet. I admit that I am hesitant to try adhesive. I think that it may be because I have severe COPD and the thought of having something "stuck" in my mouth makes me uneasy. I am sure that this will pass and as I adapt to the denture I will be ok with adhesive. I'm just really taking things slow. Thank you, again, for being there for me. You always seem to know exactly what I need.
Holly
