TY, Francis. That's brightened my day.
I was wondering how she'd remove it without anything to grip with her pliers.

No, it's not painful. It was filled and I think then the nerve was removed.

I wish I hadn't asked this question. What was the name of the film with Dustin Hoffmann?

How much of the root is left ?? If there's enough root left and it's not split, your dentist should be able to crown it.

Happened to me in May, and they took days getting the root out as it broke in to many pieces,and was infected, am still waiting for my false one to be fitted. The dentist said she thought it would be a normal extraction and was worried and surprised that it has turned out of bad!

Good luck with yours!

Happened to me but they were able to fit a beautiful new tooth to the stump. And I'm on NHS.
