    So is yours still in there? Because I was told that just a couple of weeks ago and am scared it’s going to cause problems in the future. (Am in Austria with general health care though)

      I’ve seen several dentists for a similar situation. The last one said that if they go by the book they should remove it. However if it’s all under the gum, not causing any pain or getting infected, then they’d recommend letting it be but getting x-rays every two years to monitor the situation, since otherwise it’s quite a proper surgery.

        Ok, yeah thanks for the reply! Since I know that I’m a little nervous about it. But guess it’s not uncommon so hope it won’t flare up when I’m somewhere without dental care.
