I had my molar removed 14 months ago and it has still not healed, this molar was previously root canal about 2 years before removal.
I have seen a specialist who said it looked like a amalgam tattoo and so did a full skull X-ray and found nothing apart from a possible root left over but not from that extraction and instead from the wisdom tooth next to it. That wisdom tooth was extracted roughly 4 years ago. My question is , is it possible that a root from a different tooth many years ago is stopping this one from healing ? Or should I get another opinion before being cut open to have the possible root removed?
Also is it possible that this will heal naturally in time? and Would I be able to have partial dentures there in the mean time?
