wisdom tooth

I just had a wisdom tooth removed on 6/10/09 . I have no pain but I have noticed at the site where the tooth was pulled on the inside of my gum between gum a slight protrusion that feels a bit like a bone is there. Is this something I should worry about? or is this still not healed yet?Thank you for your time.

It may be a bony spicule which is a small piece of bone fragment that is in the socket.  It will naturally fall out on its own.  If it is uncomfortable, you can go back to your dentist and have them remove it for you.  If it worsens, of course, by all means go back to your dentist to let him know.
