[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 543184, member: 84"] You risk infection with the roots that can go systemic........ at least until the gums grow over I would imagine. Or did you see roots too? I know some folks are going to be doing the omg thing......but honestly, until very recent history folks only went to "dentists" to remove teeth they couldn't handle on their own. (absessed and the like) So if it's not currently infected (and that is what you need to know), it probably will be ok once the gum grows back over the area to protect it. I had a wisdom tooth they'd attempted to extract. Stupid because they knew for a fact the one on the other sides roots were wrapped around the jaw bone.........and yeah, so splitting the tooth and everything, dentist couldn't extract it for the life of him. And after sitting through what amounted to a torture session for I dunno how many hours (pain medications didn't touch it) when it didn't hurt, I didn't bother having someone else try to pull the darn thing. Fast forward 16 yrs and it was really bothering me. Ok, what was left was bothering me......or I thought it was. Turned out to be the molar in front of it......dentist filling that one didn't even ask if I wanted the wisdom tooth out....he just sort of nudged it and out it came. poof. Rather miserable way to do it though honestly. I hate the dentist, and I dread it like anything........but if I'm in pain, it's going to get something done, pulling or not. Thankfully I only have 4 left to worry about. LOL [/QUOTE]
