When your permanent tooth falls out does the root come out as well?

The "tooth root" is the part of the tooth below the gumline, connected by a canal to the anchor in the bone. The tissue that is within the tooth is lost by extraction, but there is also some nerve tissue in the base of the socket. In any event, these nerves usually atrophy, and any transplanted teeth will not have sensory connections.
