After examining the bone that I extracted from my mouth, it looks more like a fragment of a tooth rather than something from a fish. Now this begs the question: Where did it come from? What is it doing in my mouth?
With the rearrangement of my teeth, many things have moved around and this movement may have caused some objects to come to light. My wisdom teeth were taken out over ten years ago, but I never kept the pieces (they were thrown out while I was still out) and so I never knew if anything was left inside.
Could this bone have been from one of my wisdom teeth? If so, are there any other pieces left? Will they too come out?

How big were these bits of bone? Unless it was a very large fish or you managed to embed part of a skull or vertebrae in your gums, the bones should be very thin and round - quite different from bits of teeth.

The bit that I fished out of my mouth was actually quite small: approximately 4 by 2 by 2 mm. I had originally thought that the bone was thin and small from what I could see and feel with my tongue. Once I extracted the fragment I noticed how jagged it was, and decided that it likely came from a tooth instead.
