I have a strange problem that I'm not sure is dentistry related, but
since it's in my mouth, I thought I'd ask here. I'm now 35, I had all
four wisdom teeth pulled when I was 18. Now, on the right side of my
jaw, there's a spot on the side of my gums next to where the wisdom
tooth used to be. It's a hard spot, like a piece of bone or tooth is
protruding toward my tongue, but hasn't broken through. It feels a
little swolen and inflamed, and is painful to the touch. It's not
bleeding and doesn't seem to be infected. The same spot on the left
side is completely normal and feels like the rest of my gums. Any
ideas what this could be? A piece of bone or tooth that was left in
the wound and now is working its way out?

17 yrs down the road, seriously doubt that it's bone working out.

When was the last time you had your teeth cleaned ?

A couple years. But the spot is by where the tooth used to be. It's
completely healed over and sealed. I'd say it's a good 3/4" back from
the last tooth in back.

You need to go get it checked out just to be sure, a simple office
visit and an x-ray.

I'll have to go in probably. It feels different today. Almost like
it's something I can pop. Yesterday it was hard as a rock. It almost
feels like an ear infection. And it hurts to swollow a little, like a
sore throat in my tonsils, but only on the right side.

No. The sockets where the wisdom teeth were, and all the back teeth,
line up just right.
