Is There Chances For Two To Remain After Extraction?

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

Hello!Thank you for posting here.

You did not mention if your doctor told you anything if tooth was left.If it is a infected tooth, pieces of root cannot be left in the socket.If you still doubt presence of root, you must make a visit to the dentist.Gum infection leading to removal of tooth and gum recession suggests you have a poor oral hygiene.Maintain good oral hygiene routine first.
Get a complete scaling done and use floss daily.Get scaling done every 6 months.Use warm saline gargle thrice daily.This gum recession will not grow back.This can only be prevented from further damage.A flap surgery must be done in extreme cases.
Regards.

hi... so you dnt have pain in extracted tooth socket . so first thing if you fell two roots has been left then you should rebook your doctor appointment . if roots are left , then its very important to be extracted before it starts infection . second about gum slipt , then it will heal so not to worry , but it will take some time to heal . and be on antibiotic course , maintain oral hygiene and use mouth wash....take care
