I have tooth roots left from previous extractions that a dentist did years ago. Now a need surgery around the area where the root was left. The tooth that will be extracted is above a root. Is this a risky surgery? My current dentist says it should be no problem, but his answer does not give me confidence. I sent an x-ray of the tooth and the root beneath it. I\u2019m already anxious about another extraction, and the thought of nerve damage is really scary. – Danni from NM<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your lower premolar is near the mental foramen, an opening in your front lower jaw that transmits the mental nerve and artery. A skilled surgeon can extract your tooth without damaging the nerve. But your dentist doesn’t sound confident about extracting the tooth without damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your x-ray shows that the dentist who completed your extractions left a large amount of root behind. The bone didn’t heal correctly and left a defect that can damage neighboring teeth. We also see a fragment on the right side that doesn’t appear to be threatening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re sorry that your former dentist did sloppy extractions. If your current dentist isn\u2019t confident about removing your tooth without damaging a nerve, please get a second opinion or ask your dentist to refer you to an oral surgeon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During your second opinion or consultation with a surgeon or another dentist, ask about sedation options<\/a> to calm your anxiety before and during treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
