Having Protrution At The Place Of Tooth Extraction. What Can This Be Other Than Bone Fragment?
My husband had a tooth extracted this summer and a few weeks later had a bone fragment at the site which had to be removed by a dentist. He now has another protrution where the tooth was extracted. It is not hard and pointy like the previous fragment. This is almost like a small pliable sack that does not hurt, If not a bone fragment, what could this be.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that your husband is having a pliable sac and it is not hard like bone then it can be possible that there must be some infection still left there which is now causing an abscess and it is appearing like this.
According to me you should visit your dentist again and get it treated.
Regards.
