hello.

wonder if anyone can help me,wont give you the long version as its already on here ;)

but i had teeth removed oct 10.08 then due to huge absess 4 more removed in hospital 12th dec, now one of these was a failed root canal.

my gum is steal healing and i have something coming out of my gum looks whiteish yellow and a hard brown patch on the under side of gum both same socket.

i did see my dentist he said it was root and maxillo will remove it, but maxillo said my dentist should do it.

my dentist is too scared to treat me as he missed the absess,i do have a new one to see in april, will it be ok till then.

it feels rough but firmly inplace, will i get an infection if i havent already as it seems to have been there since mid jan.

any advice would be great thank you.

Hi,

If there is not pain and it is indeed a retained root you should be ok until April.

Best of luck
