There was a small infection at base of root, tooth was brittle and had a large filling that had come out leaving only a thin wall. Dentist spent nearly an hour trying to remove the whole tooth but ended up leaving what looks like half. Should I get a second opinion or get another dentist to remove the whole tooth? Thanks

What did your treating dentist recommend? Did he refer you to an oral surgeon to take it out? Did he ask you to come back on another day to take it out?
