I had no idea I had an impacted canine tooth until I had an xray it runs along my gum line and has never given me pain. I am having my teeth removed in the next few weeks for dentures and was wondering if keeping this tooth stop bone loss? I am really hoping to avoid surgery if possible as it is more then my nerves could handle.
 
It probably won't make any difference to future bone loss, what usually happens is a few years after the extractions are done the buried tooth starts to appear as the bone covering it is remodelled. At which time, it's a fairly standard extraction...
