Message: [QUOTE="ziadio, post: 120511, member: 8021"] Hello, About a year ago I had my molar removed, but it was difficult to remove at the time so my dentist removed it in parts instead of completely 1 piece. I noticed a month after the procedure that he didn't remove the entire thing...I guess he missed a small part? But it took a while for the swelling etc to go down for me to notice that there it was actually part of my molar remaining. I even got dry socket after the procedure cuz I stupidly forgot that I couldn't use a straw. Went back to him and he packed it. Anyway I was eating today and realised that remaining part came out. All that's left is a gummy area with small crevice, but no hole or anything, looks like there was never a tooth there to begin with. There's no blood or pain since that actual tooth was removed a year ago. Should I be worried about dry socket? or is that not possible anymore? [/QUOTE]
