osteonecrosis after tooth extraction

osteonecrosis after tooth extraction

I had my wisdom teeth removed 1 1/2 months ago and have had constant problems with the healing process. I have had 1 piece of tooth and 1 piece of bone come out of the lower right side. I am also on my second round of antibiotics. I currently have a large piece of deadened bone coming out of my gum on the lower right side where all my problems are. I keep having pieces of bone pop out of the gum. It seems as though this is never gonna end. My oral surgeon told me the fragments were b/c of blood loss to the bone and in time the bone would heal its self and the dead pieces would come out on their own. I have read some articles on osteonecrosis after tooth extraction and want to know if I have anything serious to worry about. I am particularly concerned about the infections. Can he go in and clean up the bone?
