Retained root

[Rachalix]

Hi i lost a single root tooth at the top on the side a few years ago after falling pregnant but the whole tooth didn’t fall out I still have the root and the gum has closed up over it. How will they remove it I’m absolutely terrified of the dentist and avoid at all costs but I can’t stop panicking over this tooth & scared I’m going to get sepsis and die

Hi there,

here is a link about how (easily) roots can be removed: https://www.dentalfearcentral.org/forum/threads/removing-teeth-broken-at-the-gumline.13139/
As far as I know, the gum above the tooth shouldn't be much of a problem.

All the best wishes
