Is an exposed bone caused by a mouth ulcer,a matter of concern?
Patient: I had a mouth ulcer for a couple of weeks and after healing I have bone exposed now where the ulcer once was. It is located in my lower jaw on the inside of my mouth. The pain is just a dull ache. I expect it will heal. Should I be worried or go see a dentist? Doctor: Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,   I have gone through your query, as you have ulcer on lower jaw dont worry , you do is avoid spicy food first.   Take ointment Mucopain or Pansoral apply on ulcer three times a day.  You can take Capsule Zevit one capsule twice daily .  Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day Consult dentist and go for oral prophylaxis . Hope this will help you.  Wishing you good health.
