I had 3 wisdom teeth extracted on Thursday (one did not need to be extracted since it grew out and helped clear the space of a prev. extrac. tooth). The 2 lowers were impacted and had to be surgically removed and stitched up and I was told that it's normal for some bone to come out that had been supporting to tooth but what I'm feeling doesn't feel like bone, it feels more like a thin wire. Could this be part of the suture(stitch) I'm feeling or is it the bone I was notified about? I would ask the surgeon but his office is closed on the weekend :/ Has anyone else had this happen?

It sounds like it's 1 of the stitches.
Don't play with it and call him on Monday.

Could be a bone/tooth chip which will work its way out in a day or two. Yes, its normal. If it doesn't, see your dentist.

It could very well be a bone fragment working its way out..It is normal..But, if it is really worrying you or you are in any kind of pain; I suggest, on Monday you call your dentist he will advise you best.

little pieces of bone broken off during extraction will work their way up and out for several months

When I had tooth work done, I had tiny shards that worked their way out on their own after a week or two.

You have to go for a followup appointment with the surgeon. Ask him what is happening therer when you go back!

it probably is bone. keep your tongue OUT of the area! they won't heel properly. have someone look into the area and have a pair of tweezers...if its bone it will be apparent...they can pull it out!
