What are the risks of a root of a tooth fracturing and remaining inside after a wisdom tooth extraction?

Answer:

Answer

A root can fracture sometimes during tooth extraction. But normally the dentist sees it, and he removes it right away. It is rare that the root remains there.

The only way to make sure that your root is not still in your jaw is to take an x-ray.
