[|Human|] My wife has just had an upper wisdom tooth removed by her dentist in Whitehaven this morning. Unfortunately the top of the tooth shattered and she has now been left with the roots still in her jaw. She is obviously still in pain but her dentist suggested that the referal to the West Cumberland Hospital  for surgery to remove the remnants of the tooth may be up to 2 months away. What could be the consequenses of this delay?RegardsRae Patterson
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. It is a quite difficult situation you are into, sometimes it happens during the wisdom tooth removal. Breaking of crown usually happen when there is an inappropriate judgement done before removal. I would suggest you to get the roots removed as early as possible to avoid any infection by taking an early appointment with oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Have a radiograph done before the surgery. Do continue medications which has been prescribed by the dentist. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
