Q.
My back molar was extracted and then the 2nd molar broke (there is 1/4 left). I have had a root canal, but now there is a vertical fracture and I need to get the tooth extracted and replaced with an implant. I was trying to wait for about 6 months but now the remaining tooth is breaking which will leave only the root. Can I leave the root in until I am ready to have my implant which will be in about 6 months. There was an infection forming so the dentist gave me some antibiotics. What can be done? My dental surgeon likes to do implants within 10 days of extractions but I cannot afford it.,
