[|Human|] Hello. I removed a molar a year ago and the Dentist broke it during the process..half stayed in. No problems till now that it seems to hurt my right ear is risky to go back and do it. I am scared to see the Dentist. It is covered by my gums...my email is  YYYY@YYYY
[|AI|]  Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. As you mentioned the molar fractured while extraction, are you sure it was not removed entirely? Usually no part of tooth is left in socket intentionally unless it is small enough to resort over a period of time. Still for clarification or if you are having any symptom, I suggest you go to an Oral surgeon and get an X-ray of that area done. It will confirm if It's still there and whether it needs to be removed or not. If it is causing any infection or pain, it needs to be removed. Do not worry, it will be painless under local anesthesia. As you had an unpleasant dental experience once, please don't keep that fear forever and go ahead. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!
