2 months ago i had my wisdom teeth cut out. about a week ago i started to feel like i had a bone chip in my right lower gum area. it started swelling and a little bit of white started to show through. i went to the dentist and found out it was my jawbone coming through. i am 35 years old. my dentist said that they can go in and shave some of my jawbone so my gum can cover it up. is this a good thing to be doing?

Yes. This is a common procedure called "smoothing" or alveoloplasty.
