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. Known to leymen as the lower jaw
The mandible, or the jaw bone.
The bone in your jaw is called the mandible. It is the largest and strongest bone in the human face, and it plays a crucial role in chewing, speaking, and facial structure. The mandible is connected to the skull at the temporomandibular joint, allowing for movement of the jaw.
The mandible, also known as the lower jaw bone, is the only moveable bone in the face. It is unique in that it can move up and down, as well as side to side, enabling actions such as chewing and speaking.
A periodontal ligament surrounds the cementum. This ligament contains vessels and nerves as well as bundles of think collagenous fibers which pass between the cementum and the bone of the alveolar process, firmly attaching the tooth to the jaw.

The mandible. Known to leymen as the lower jaw
The bone in the jaw that contains the tooth sockets is called the alveolar bone. This specialized type of bone supports the teeth and forms the dental arch, providing stability and structure. It is vital for maintaining oral health, as it undergoes remodeling in response to tooth movement and pressure during activities like chewing. The alveolar bone is part of both the maxilla (upper jaw) and the mandible (lower jaw).
It is the bone that is attached to the bottom of your skull, where your bottom teeth are.

The mandible is located on your skull. It is attached to your skull. It is called your JAW.
The mandible, or the jaw bone.
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.
