Wisdom Tooth Extraction, Leave the Root In??? Posted: 04-15-04 00:48am
I got my left bottom wisdom tooth removed
and my dentist told me he didn't remove
the tooth root because my nerve and bone
are so close to the root. Is it a normal
procedure to extract the wisdom teeth?
Now, months later, I got serious infection
from that area. Is that because the root
is still there?
Please help. Thx...

H!There are times when it is better to
leave a root tip in if trying to remove it
will cause nerve or bone damage.Did you
see a dentist or an oral surgeon for your
extractions??If you did not see a
specialist(oral surgeon)that is who you
should see to treat this problem.Good
luck!!
