Greetings once again,
I've posted here before, but I now have a somewhat new question.
My lower left wisdom tooth (#17), is in decay and ever so slowly falling apart. It is also impacted against the neighboring tooth (though for the most part the wisdom tooth is erupted - its just turned a bit on its side).
If I get this removed (which I should but am not looking forward to doing, given my needle fear that I am trying to overcome)...there is a good chance the crown will break into pieces off the root during extraction before the root is removed. If this happens, will it be difficult to remove the root? What might then be involved? I am hoping I can get some idea as to what I might have to expect from this procedure.
Thanks.
