What Could Be The Chances Of Getting Jaw Bone Affected While Pulling Off Cracked Molar?
I had Reclast on September 18, 2003. On November I realized I had a small sore between my molars on the right side of my face. After going many times to the dentist and having taken different antibiotics, I learned today that my molar ((#32) is cracked all the way down! Now my dentist will have to pull the tooth out. I am wondering what are the chances of me getting my jaw bone affected by this procedure? and who should remove this tooth?
thank you so much

hello and welcome to HCM forum,
I would like you to know that as the wisdom molar is cracked , it needs to be extracted by an experienced dentist, it can be a specialist or a general dentist.
You do not have to worry as it is not something too serious.
Extraction of a molar does not affect your jaw in any way ,just follow the instruction given by your dentist post-extraction.
I hope I answered your query,
i wish you good health,
take care.
