Maybe it really depends on the person, everyone is different. I had 4 wisdom teeth pulled 27 years ago without a hitch, 2 about 6 months ago, without a hitch, a slight tad of something in one of them maybe but that tooth had a major infection/abcess when it was pulled (caused by dentist's negligence of course), but still not sure because it really doesn't bother me... I think I will probably just go and get the molar that sits below that now empty space pulled also... rear molars, I never missed them as a child, surely won't miss them now. That one tooth has a major amalgam filling, huge, biggest one in my mouth, I am sure by now it's leaking and the source of my ongoing sore neck.

Tooth loosening after having one pulled, that's a new one on me... I know lots of people who have teeth pulled and never heard any complain about that. Maybe in case of peridontitus but I don't have peridontitus or any gum problems at all.

I know you are right about removal Elvis but I got entirely worn out searching for a decent dentist around here about 3-4 months ago.

I have a funny feeling that one tooth has been causing me some issues for some time, though I never put two and two together concerning the mercury until recently. I don't see the sense of spending any sum of money fixing it since I won't be fixing the space above it. They'd probably want to do a crown anyway, no crowns allowed here, I am allergic to the resin crown adhesives far as I know, and don't really want to experiment.
