I noticed that my broken molar that needs an extraction is worse off. I can see some tooth at gumline of break but the skin has grown over it. How will they get this out?
 
Easily :) We use a tool called an elevator that slides between the roots and lifts them out. Most dentists would sooner remove roots than an entire tooth.
 
Thank you. This forum has helped soo much. I guess I’m getting more nervous since it’s tomorrow. I’m so scared of having this bottom infected broken molar removed. I keep thinking the worst and I’m scared of recovery as well.
 
I did it! It took no longer than like 2 minutes. They worked fast where I had no time to think too much. My heart was beating soo fast but I did it. I’m home and super numb with frozen peas on my face.
