Tooth extraction gum dull pain for years
My last molar tooth of right below jaw was extracted 5-6 years before and got pain time to time there at the gum.Now there is dull pain always.I did a CBCT scanning recently which shows enostosis (bone extension) on the second last tooth right surface.Report says enostosis can't generate pain but I am having pain may be it's growing and creating muscle pain.I have attached the report.Looking for a suggestion for the treatment.

The cbct seems fine. The pain might be myofacial in origin. That is pain in your masticattory muscle. Correct diagnosis and treatment can only be done after clinical assessment
