Hi Bryanna,
I hope this is the case as to to how my dentist removed the tooth hence it was a dead tooth that was causing some trouble. From speaking with you before Byranna if you recall I had the other upper incisor tooth removed due to a bad dentist drilling my teeth away for the purpose of crowns hence it killed both teeth at the time hence the reason for this situation now. However as I was aware of your input previously advising that the perio ligament be removed I told my previous dentist to make sure and remove it and it felt like a much more through clean and scraping so I was questioning this as I was relating the two. The dentist I went to is in Ireland in a town called Bray and he seems like a dentist that thinks outside the box of which he does not do root canals etc which all dentists should not of course. The tooth was removed on Tuesday and its still sore with a bruised feeling around the socket and I sincerely hope the site heals properly with new bone regeneration as the whole ordeal has been quite troubling for me. I now have a TCS partial denture that is completely bio compatible to my knowledge and another point is that the dentist did say I have severe abnormal wear on my teeth which he has rarely saw so bad and he describes it as corrosion of the enamel hence there is none left, it could be acid reflux or whats your thoughts?

Based on your description the dentist performed what is referred to as Atraumatic or Nontraumatic oral surgery. This is when the dentist purposely uses a very gentle approach to remove the tooth so as to cause the least amount of trauma to the bone with the intention of preserving as much healthy bone as possible. In this type of surgery the debridement of the socket is usually gentle unless he finds diseased bone which would require a bit more scraping to remove.
Dentists usually have to seek education outside of their usual dental curriculum to learn this technique. Those who are taught and practice this form of oral surgery... are usually so gentle that their patient does not even realize how thorough the procedure really is. I worked with a Biological Dentist who performed Atraumatic oral surgery .... his work was remarkable!
With all of that said... I cannot completely assure you that the socket was thoroughly debrided. But my guess is that this is the type of surgery that he does and you will be fine. You can always ask him if this is what is does 
Chris, was this dentist an oral surgeon or a general dentist? I have a few people who need a holistic minded gentle dentist.... could you tell us what state or country you live in??
