Would a partially removed wisdom tooth, one root is stuck beneath another tooth, cause any problem?
Patient: Hi,My wisdom tooth was partially removed.Doctor said One Root stuck inside another tooth he said .so doctor suggested me to extract near by tooth.But I refused.So he left tht broken root without removing  and stiched and said there is nothing problem in leaving.will it cause any problem? Doctor: Hello and welcome.Sometimes there could be attached roots.In many cases they remain problem free but few cases do get infection and it becomes a matter of concern.Therefore it is best to get the tooth extracted completely.Therefore please see your dentist for reconsideration.until then maintain good oral hygiene.Hope it helps.Thanks.Take care.
