| NEVER let dental work wait.... Well, after the tooth crumble incident during my pregnancy. I waited until today to get something done. It begain a year ago with a filling coming out of my tooth, then the tooth decayed from there.
Well I thought I could get by with minor dental work... I was WAY wrong. I got to the point that it brought tears when I would eat so something had to give. The dentist told me a root canal and crown, then after discussing the cost (even with 80/20 insurance) I went with the hey pull the thing option. Well once he got in there we found out the tooth was not salvageable no matter what. The root canal would have been a wasted venture.
I am going to get a bridge put in this winter sometime... luckily its a molar ini the back where you can't see Im a TN redneck with a missing tooth...
He said if I had come in when I first lost the fillling none of this would have ever happened...
I also ended up having to make another appt for a filling, but hey out of 6 years of not seeing a dentist that being the only work.. I think I am lucky! |
