<human>: A bone growth in the mouth that has been fractured by dental work , is there danger if there are lacerations and splinter  bones fragments appearing , also blood under the gums associated with pain ? The pain causing difficulty with swallowing .The dentist that did the work claims it will heal on its own?
<bot>: Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually when there is only a small bone fragment fractured in the jaw, it heals only within 20 to 30 days. But when there is a big fracture in the jaw you have to go for the treatment. The type of fracture is confirmed in a dental X-ray known as OPG. Better you visit another dentist and get this x-ray done for confirmation of fracture. Hope it will help you.
