If your surgeon was unable to remove the entire tooth root during the extraction, it's best to consult with them for guidance. Leaving a portion of the root behind can potentially cause complications in the future. Here are a few points to consider: Follow-up Examination: Contact your surgeon and inform them about the situation. They may want to schedule a follow-up examination to evaluate the remaining root and assess the need for further treatment. Potential Complications: Leaving a portion of the tooth root behind can lead to problems such as infection, discomfort, or damage to adjacent teeth or structures. It's important to address this issue to prevent potential complications. Treatment Options: Depending on the specific situation, your surgeon may recommend further treatment options, such as removing the remaining root fragment, performing a surgical procedure, or leaving it as is if it poses no immediate risk or discomfort. Regular Monitoring: If the decision is made to leave the root fragment in place, your surgeon may recommend regular monitoring through follow-up visits. This allows them to assess the area's health and intervene if any issues arise. Remember, it's essential to consult with your oral surgeon or dentist for personalized advice. They will have the most accurate information about your case and can provide appropriate recommendations based on your specific situation.

Normally it is advisable to remove complete tooth. In some cases where the surgeon feels that very small root piece is left and it's better to leave it than to go for removing it. We can leave that root piece. But an x ray is needed to make a call. So, better get an x ray done and visit a local oral and Maxillofacial surgeon for physical evaluation and treatment.

Hello No ,u have to get it remove else it create severe infection

It is always better to get most roots out,however leaving smaller fragments may not cause much problems,given the fragment doesn't serve as a source of infection. Also if it is upper tooth and the root fragment lies at a proximity to the sinus floor,its better to leave that fragment(given its not acting as a source of infection)than to damage sinus.

No, it should be taken out , keeping it there might lead to infection , which in turn can transform into cyst or other severe problem.

No, not a good idea. take second opinion meet oral surgeon and get it removed asap.
