The root ot a tooth is attached to an alevouls (socket in the jaw bone) as follows:
Dentin (from the tooth) attaches to a substance called cementum; cementum attaches to a periodontal ligament; the ligament attaches to the jaw bone

The mandible is located on your skull. It is attached to your skull. It is called your JAW.
The "membrane that links a tooth the the bone of the jaw is called periodontal ligament. It is made of fibrous tissue arranged in groups of collagen fibres.
The infection can dissolve jaw bone.
The actual term is "soft tissue impaction." This refers to how deep the tooth lies in the jaw. A soft tissue impaction means that the tooth lies just beneath the gum tissue and no bone will have to removed to extract the tooth. In contrast, a "partial boney impaction" means most of the tooth still lies within the jaw bone and some bone will be removed during the extraction. A "full boney impaction" means the entire tooth resides within the jaw bone and more bone will have to be removed to access and extract the tooth. A soft tissue impaction is usually the least involved and least expensive extraction of the three.
hello, the short answer is yes. Depending on how it was extracted and the stability of the jaw it can happen. I am a vet tech and I have seen it happen. When the state of the jaw is questioanble ( such as with cancer of the bone of the jaw) no tooth should ever be "pulled" it should always be drilled out.
