Will this extraction cause complications later on?
Patient: Hi all and one, I just had a tooth extraction done Monday just gone. Was glad to find that I don't have a dry socket but several things are worrying me: Firstly it looks like 2 roots have been left in there, can this be right? Will it have complications later on? As the tooth was suppose to be taken out due to pus being developed on the gum and was infecting everything around it,..? Secondly, the tooth next to it it's gum split...one side is flopping around? Will it grow back together? Shall I be rebooking to go and see the dentist? Thank you in advance Doctor: hello thanks for consulting at hcm.. Tooth extraction includes removal of tooth in total,,so if the roots are left back.. I suggest you take a course of antibiotics since you had pus or abscessed tooth,,then review back with the dentist for extraction of those 2 roots left behind..do salt water gargle thrice daily, drink warm water. The neighboring gum has split, so i suggest you review back with your dentist for removal of the flap or if it could be saved by suturing the split gums..hope it helps..take care..
