Oy, the Teeth!

[dcseain]

So, the root canal went well, temp crown was installed, scheduled to go back on the 1st for part 2.

The molar in question - #31 - had a crack along its length, dead center. Dentist went in, did root canal - very minor discomfort at two points in the process, temporary crown, good to go. Tonight, the tooth broke and the half toward the inside of my mouth fell out from under the temporary crown, which is still in place, as is the outer-facing half of the tooth. Called the dentist, whose first question was "Is there any pain?" - kudos for that - so far, no pain and they'll see me again at 09 on Monday. Wheeee! every other day with the dentist for nearly a week now. Hopefully they won't need to see me again on Wednesday. LOL

Yeah, more than a crown indeed.

I have nightmares like that. It's happened for real on me once, and now, when I'm in a nightmare-prone state, one of the regulars is waking up with a piece of broken tooth floating around my mouth. My deepest sympathies.

Thank you.

How scary and inconvenient! I'm very glad you have no pain to go with it. Good luck on Monday and here's hoping nothing else untoward happens!

Oh, no! What a living nightmare. I am glad you are not in pain - but so sorry you are going through this. Good luck tomorrow with the dentist.
