A member asked:
Tooth extracted today and dentist didn't get the whole tooth out, what problems can this cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: If the remaining portion is small and can be contained in bone upon healing, it may not pose a problem. It depends on the size and proximity to the surface of the bone.
