Well When i went to my consultation for the wisdom teeth awhile back he
was telling me that he might leave a root in if he things he cant get
it out without damaging the nerve...as for the doctors...have any of
you done this?

Also here is a picture of my teeth...do they look difficult to extract?

    I do not extract impacted teeth.  But sometimes discretion is the
better part of valor.  Your lower wisdom teeth do look like their
removal could potentially lead to nerve damage.
    So--did he leave the root in?

Well I am going wednesday to have them removed....but he said if he
gets in there and doesnt think he can get it out without damaging, he
was just going to leave it in there....and that there was a low risk of
infection and probability over  the span of my life they would
eventually come out.....Im only 20 so ive been told on here that my
risks would be small...the doc told me i run the risk of possible nerve
damage and POSSIBLE whole in sinus cavity that he could fix if it does
happen but thats all he told me as far as a risk goes

to know if this is a common practice to leave the root in and whether
the teeth look like they might be difficult to extract...

    It is done, and the risk is (as your surgeon says) minimal.

Surgery always includes risk.

A competent surgeon can remove these entirely
with minimal risk of IA nerve damage.

I would do those in the office with sedation.
Horizontals always appear worse on the pan than
they are IRL.

Everything went welll....Im a little sleepy and naseated from the
tylonelw/codiene

I am in no pain.  I had a bit of a time trying to clot.  Finally about
4 gauze packs and 4 tea bags later i was clotting.  The dcotor couldnt
find a good vien at first....Fianlly found one around my wrist...and as
soon as he put it in...about a min later I was OUT.  Didnt hear or feel
anything.  My mom was in the waiting room and they closes the front
window...she said it sounded like he had a chainsaw in there lol.  I
didnt see my teeth, nor did my mom (I think she was interested in what
they looked like)  My top doesnt hurt...neither does my bottom...its
just a little tender.  But all and all the surgical procedure went well
and the doctor was fabublous.  Greeted me, made small talk and I was
out like a light.

I just rmemeber waking up and laughing ...went to the Pharmacy laughing
as well.  Still had some laughing gas in me.....I know i felt like i
weighed a ton.....
As far as I k now he left the root in there.  The only thing numb is my
lip and chin but its wearing away slowly...Thanks all for advice and
putting me at ease.
