I have a problem wisdom tooth and it raised higher so was annoying me, I am waiting currently for a dental surgeon to remove it. So in the meantime the dentist filed it down which has helped so I no longer hit it when I bite. But the height of the tooth seems to have reduced by half, on some of it. Does height of tooth make a difference to removal if at least some is above the surface ? Or do they use tweezers that would need to go below the tooth and gum anyway ? See photo below. 1/4 of that tooth by the way was missing before, it just seems to now have increased to about half. Does this make nerve damage just as likely as with a impacted tooth now ? Sorry for the paranoia, I suffer badly from anxiety and just a bit stressed this may mean a more difficult extraction.
Warning in advance, my tooth is partially broken so photos are a bit gross as it is a half broken tooth.
