[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 543199, member: 3419"] Well, in a sense, you're lucky that the roots came out. But on the other hand, you do want it filled in, because the other teeth can definitely shift, plus, you don't want bone loss. That's the worst part. My cousin had that and it really changed the shape of her face (the sunken, old person look), plus, she wanted implants on top and bottom and could only do the bottom because the top was just too weak. I agree, rinse with-some kind of antibacterial or warm salt water, if you're afraid of peroxide. I'd recommend those over peroxide anyway. In the meantime, take calcium (you can get caramel, vanilla or choco chewables at the drug store) and keep chewing. You want to keep using the muscles and teeth to avoid more bone or tooth loss. You know how you have to do weight bearing exercise to keep your bones in shape? Same thing with-your teeth and jaw. Just things I learned while tending to Cousin P ... :) :getwell::doctor: [/QUOTE]
