Have had a cracked tooth that the Dentist said didn't look like a problem until it bothered me---today it "bothered me" it broke off. Not excited about what's coming.

@SeasonedCitizen    I am so sorry you have to deal with this.... I have teeth issues all the time.  Being that is is cracked and broke off, no root canal ( that is the best option to save a tooth)......  They will probably pull the tooth and you will have to see what they suggest depending on where it is in your mouth... implant....  or something.  Perhaps it is a back molar that you can just let them pull and not need to do an implant it it looks like that will work.   it really depends...

Ugh, that is a bummer. But if it makes you feel any better, we have two air conditioning units that both went out yesterday evening...yes, both. Woman Sad Waiting on repair guy...waiting, sweating, waiting, sweating. Ha!

 

Oh, NO, I just remembered I have a cracked tooth myself and the dentist is doing a wait and see with it, too. I'm gonna be extra careful with it today!!!

I am very surprised that your dentist did not fix the cracked tooth. Any cracked tooth has lost its strength. I am a little dumbfounded by your dentist.

I found with the Dentist I was seeing if you did not have dental insurance he didn't seem to want to bother with me.

I wish you well with your tooth.  But mostly I wanted to tell you I love your nic, @SeasonedCitizen.  As Larry David says on Curb Your Enthusiasm, it's pretty, pretty, pretty good!
