Gum didn't properly heal so I had exposed bone in my mouth where the tooth was. Anytime food touched it, I moved my jaw to quick, sneezed, coughed, or drank something cold I would have intense shooting pain that ran the across my jaw and up behind my eyes.

I thought it was an exposure of the nerves that run above your jaw bone, not the bone itself?

Edited by Cruel Squirell: 1/31/2015 8:54:13 PM[quote] The socket is the hole in the bone where the tooth has been removed. After a tooth is pulled, a blood clot forms in the socket to protect the bone and nerves underneath. Sometimes that clot can become dislodged or dissolve a couple of days after the extraction. That leaves the bone and nerve exposed to air, food, fluid, and anything else that enters the mouth. This can lead to infection and severe pain that can last for 5 or 6 days. [/quote] Pulled that from WebMD. Bone and nerve can be exposed. I could look down in the socket in the mirror and see the bone. -blam!-ing nasty.
