What is a soft tooth impaction of a wisdom tooth?
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.

When you lose a tooth is there still some bone deep inside the gum?
The root of a tooth extends under the gums and is anchored in your jawbone. When you have a tooth pulled, there is a hole in the jaw where the root of the tooth was. This is called the socket. When the dentist pulls the tooth out, there may be chips of bone left over in the socket. The dentist has to break the tooth away from the jawbone in order to make the tooth loose so it can come out. Sometimes when the dentist pulls the tooth out, the tooth can break and a little bit of the root can be left in the socket. The dentist will try to get this out by drilling down into the jawbone with the drill to loosen the broken tooth root. If the piece of root is too close to the sinus (upper tooth) or jaw nerve (lower tooth), the dentist may decide it is best to leave the piece of root in the jaw.
What is the only moveable bone in the face?
The mandible or lower jaw bone is the only bone in your skull that moves.
