bone chips

[db9]

3 weeks ago I had front 4 teeth removed and was given a flipper to wear, it was fine that day until removing it the next day i went back and dentist filed flipper and said i had a cut on gum that is why it is sore  well I still can't put in the flipper and I think it is bone and dentist now is on holidays I haven;t left house in 3 weeks and now I am starting not to care if I ever do it has been so long sorry my question can I do anything to remove it
Tanks for listening to me rant

Thanks again

If the bone is loose enough you can probably rub a washcloth or something like that along the gums enough to get ahold of it.  If it is a small enough piece...which they usually are...it will come right out.  It still could be a sore spot from the flipper.  If your dentist is out of the office you may need to try to get ahold of someone else to take a look at it.
