Brit thinks I should ask you about this.. so i think i best make sure if its ok..
I had an appointment for extraction a week ago. But it got to lunch time before it was all out so he got rid of me and made a new appointment to get the rest of it out. So he took half of the tooth out and left the other half behind. I couldn't argue about it since I've never had it done before and don't know if that's normal. It hasn't been bothering me apart from a little soreness and it also has a funny taste sometimes. But he was so rouch with his tools that he ripped my lip and it's been leaking yellow pus every morning.. and also my next appointment is in 2 weeks time to get the rest of the tooth out.. So the questions was :P does this all sound "normal" to you? Leaving a half a tooth behind and then having so long between the appointments (3weeks)..
 
Seems a bit on the long side, but maybe he's so busy he's got no choice. Sometimes it's easier to get the bits out if you wait a wee while.
