What Causes Hard White Spot In Extraction Hole After Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Had wisdom teeth taken our 10 days ago. Had extreme amount of pain and was given more pain killers which I'm still taking (I tell you this because i will mention below that i have little/no pain but that may just b because the pain killers are blocking it).
basically there is a hard white spot fairly deep in one of the extraction holes. I had not noticed it until a few days ago and I'm wondering what it is and if that could possibly be why i have alot of pain when I'm off the pain killers. Thanks for your fime!

hell,
it could be secondarily infected causing osteomyelitis means infection of the bone. you need to get the extraction socket irrigated with betadine and saline solution with a antibiotic coverage. usually if the extration is done through open method means by cutting bone pain will be there for a week.. so better consult your dentist for further treatment....thanks for your question i hope my answer will help you..
