About 3 weeks ago, i felt 'something' was embedded in the roof of my mouth. It didnt really hurt, I was just aware it was there. I assumed it was a bit of a crisps or something and it would work its way out. After a few days, it began to sting and i gave it a scrub with my toothbrush but it wouldn't budge. I tried a few more times over the following few days but it wouldn't move. A few days ago, it began to feel very sharp and uncomfortable....it somehow felt bigger and more prominent. Anyway, last night, i got my toothbrush on it again, and it began to bleed, then i was able to remove it with my nail!
Here it is!!! It looks like a chip of tooth? Its a bit bigger than a pin head....with a hooked bit! No wonder it was so uncomfortable!! I'm wondering if its somehow left over from when I had a tooth removed a couple of months ago and its just worked its way to the surface?? So glad its out!!

@RubySoo If that were true you'd remember the exact moment it embedded itself no matter what the source, wouldn't you? So small, it might have seemed barely noticeable until it started to irritate the skin around it?
@ChipmunkErnie no, but as i said, its only 2 months ago i had one removed.....and it was a big job, took the best part of an hour to get it out. I think maybe its left from then.
