Hey doc, what do I do?
Broke the top farthest back tooth while eating a french fry. Missed the morning session at Putnam this morning. A friend told me I'll need to get it pulled. I don't know if that's true, but the inside face is basically gone, the top is mostly there though. She told me the inside of the tooth isn't protected and will rot and hurt like hell if not pulled. Izat true? Thanks in advance. |

I had a tooth crack earlier this year. It was a hairline crack that hadn't let go yet but hurt like a sumbitch when chewing and was hot/cold sensitive. Fortunately they saved the tooth w/o even a root canal but a nice $800 crown was required.
Around the same timeframe we also had $2500 in dental work for our son (required general anesthesia so $$$$ extra). But what can ya do, teeth are kind of a necessity... |
