What Can Be Done After Molar Fall Out With Tiny Bit Still Intact?
Dentist help! My molar fell out I am experiencing no pain or bleeding what should I do? I can't make it to a clinic until Monday. If my gum isn't bleeding am I going to get dry socket. There is a tiny bit of tooth that I can see but the rest is just a hole

Hello,
The remaining part of the tooth could be a left out root piece. Nothing to worry consults an oral physician and takes a radiograph to rule out the presence of a root piece. If there is a root piece, then get it removed under local anesthesia. Nothing to worry about dry socket, it will not occur when there is still a root piece inside.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Kumar T S
