I just went in for an extraction of 14 teeth on Jun 16th. The remaining 13 Upper I had and 1 Lower back molar. I was given a few shots and in about 5 mins the dentist started removing the Uppers. I shook non-stop and clenched my fingernails in my palms. I started my monthly 2 weeks ahead of schedule right there in the dentist chair. On the way home I noticed he didn't pull the bottom tooth. I'm supposed to make an appt to see the denturist to take a mold for the top complete Denture in 2 weeks, but that bottom tooth is why i finally gave in to see a dentist in the first place... it's a broken half tooth, it hurts and it's still there! Is it normal for a dentist to do only tops and not a combination of both top and bottom? Did he forget? I wasn't told to make an appointment to come back for it to be extracted. Should I try to see a different dentist or is what I went through normal? I'm so confused and not sure if i should try to have the last of the expected 14 teeth pulled before having the mold made. I don't know if it will change things or mess things up. It's been 5 days, the necrotic tissue has fallen away, the clots are intact, my upper gums are still sore and feel swollen, I have no fever, no temporary denture, and my speech is off, like a lisp i guess. The reviews i read online said the dentist I'd had an appt with had had great success with anxiety patients but that so wasn't the case with me.

It looks like he may have forgotten to extract it? If it's broken it can't be used as an anchor for a partial. You should call him and explain the situation as soon as possible.
 
A partial on bottom isn't possible at the moment anyways saddly. They wanted $450 cuz my insurance won't cover it as i still have 10 good on bottom
