Goodbye root-canaled molar!

My oral surgeon made me a little nervous when we talked about the periodontal ligament, he said he doesn't believe it can cause a problem when left, but he would honor my request to remove. When the procedure was over I asked if it was out and he said "I removed the ligaments as best I could"

I shouldn't be worried about that statement, right?
I hope it is all out of there. He did work on me at least 20 minutes, and has been doing this work for many years.

He did say he saw "thickening" of the ligament, prior to the procedure.

Had to cut the tooth in two to remove, and he said it actually looked pretty good, but as I had throbbing pain that came and went for months, and there was some root remaining, I have no second thoughts about trying to save it. And all the arguments made here against dead teeth in the mouth ring true; never again will I go down the root-canal road.

I am surprised how little it hurts so far
