Hello!

I recently had a 'chronic abscess' in my lower gum, basically it was a lump in my gum, caused me no pain but just had this lump. 

I went to the dentist who said unless it's causing me pain he would leave it for a while as see how I got on 

It then moved from my jaw onto my gum just below my tooth but now it was like a blister type lump, in the meantime my tooth crumbled so my dentist said I had to have it taken out which is understandable haha.. 

Anyway I've had my tooth out for a week now and it's still abit swollen and that but nothing major until I spotted a tender part on my gum which has now swollen up a little bit no blister type lump just swollen gum and on the inner side of the extraction gap there is a little white lump that feels like bone .. 

Can anyone please help me as I've never had a tooth out before I might be worrying for nothing  .. Is this normal ? Or do you think the abscess may be coming back? sad 

Thank you in advance for any advice
