Introduction
An integral component of general health is dental
health. Nonetheless, the formation of dental bone
spurs is a lesser-known problem that may have an
impact on oral health. Exostoses or osteophytes,
another name for dental bone spurs, can develop
on the mandible and have a variety of
consequences.

What Are Dental Bone Spurs
Dental bone spurs are microscopic bone growths
that can form in the jaw and other oral bones.
They resemble bone spurs that develop in other
body parts like the hips, knees, or spine. Bone
spurs in the teeth are troubling because they may
affect our oral function and create discomfort,
even though they can be evident in any part of
the body.

CAUSES OF DENTAL BONE SPURS

• It can often be difficult to pinpoint the exact
  cause of dental bone spurs, however a number of
  variables may be involved in their formation,
  including
• Injury or Trauma Bone spurs in teeth can occur as
  a consequence of trauma or injury to the teeth or
  jaw bone from dental treatments, the production
  of bone spurs following tooth extraction, or
  accidents. The body makes an effort to return to
  its initial state concurrently.
• Dental Extractions After a tooth extraction, bone
  spurs are simple to create and may appear when
  the body attempts to mend itself, particularly in
  cases of difficult extractions. The body could
  make an overly aggressive attempt to fill up the
  gap left by the excised tooth.
• Procedures for Orthodontics Bone spicules in the
  mouth may arise from the stimulation of new bone
  growth in the jawbone by the pressure exerted by
  braces or other orthodontic devices.

CAUSES OF DENTAL BONE SPURS

• Infections An infection in the gums or jawbone
  can cause swelling where it is present and
  eventually result in the production of spurs.
• Biological Propensity Because of their genetic
  composition, some people are more likely than
  others to develop bone spurs.
• Changes Correlated with Age As you age, changes
  in bone density and structure can lead to the
  development of bone spurs.

SYMPTOMS OF DENTAL BONE SPURS
Certain oral bone spurs dont show any symptoms
at all. However, if they do, the following signs
might manifest.

• Anguish and Unease, discomfort ranging from
  moderate to severe, particularly during speaking
  or eating.
• Redness and Swelling Its possible for the spurs
  surrounding region to enlarge and inflame.
• Ulcers and Sores The mouths soft tissues may
  get irritated by the bone spicules rubbing
  against them, which can result in ulcers or
  sores.
• Chewing Challenges Bone spurs can make chewing
  painful or difficult, which can impede oral
  function.
• Brutal Mouth Running the tongue over certain
  parts of the mouth might reveal sharp or rough
  patches caused by bone spurs.
• Unsecured Teeth In extreme situations, bone spurs
  may cause neighbouring teeth to become less
  stable and loose.

Diagnosis of Dental Bone Spurs
Its imperative that you consult an oral surgeon
or dentist right away if you have a dental bone
spur, which is a bony growth in your jawbone.
By carefully examining your mouth, they can
determine whether you have a bone spur. They will
search for any indications of a bone spur.
Obtaining images, including X-rays a clear image
of your jawbone, including any bone spurs, may be
obtained with these examinations.

TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR DENTAL BONE SPURS

• Depending on the symptoms and origin, there are
  many therapy options for dental bone spicule.
• Observing In the event that there are no serious
  complications from the bone spur, the dentist may
  continue to monitor it.
• Drugs Anti-inflammatory medications and
  painkillers can reduce discomfort. If an
  infection is present, antibiotics may be taken.
• Rinses of the mouth Antiseptic mouthwashes aid in
  the prevention of infection and inflammation in
  the bone spurred region.

TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR DENTAL BONE SPURS

• Smoothing the Bump To reduce discomfort and
  irritation, dentists may use specialised
  instruments to gently scrape the bone spur.
• Surgery to Take Out The dental bone spicule may
  need to be surgically removed if it is
  excessively painful or interferes with the
  function of the teeth. Usually, an oral surgeon
  will numb the region and remove the lump during
  this procedure.
• Handling Additional Issues Treating any
  underlying problems, like as gum disease or
  infections, is crucial to preventing the
  recurrence of bone spurs.

Prevention of Dental Bone Spurs
Plan Frequently Occurring Dental Exams Bone spur
growth can be reduced by treating dental issues
as soon as they arise.
To lower the risk of dental bone spurs, consider
these preventive measures
12
Prevention of Dental Bone Spurs
Dental Health By having orthodontic braces or
teeth extractions done as soon as possible,
dental issues that may otherwise result in the
growth of bone spurs can be avoided.
Put on protective gear When engaging in physical
activity, using mouth guards helps shield your
jaw against injuries that could result in bone
spurs.
A nutritious diet Maintaining healthy bones and
avoiding bone disorders requires eating a
balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
