I went to the dentist about my shattered molar |
|
Basically I needed a big filling.
No root canal, no $2000 bill. :D

3. I have one and it's my favorite molar. |
|
It was sensitive for a few months but now it feels like the strongest tooth in my mouth.

you're not a real princess. :P
Good that you can put off the crown. It's not only $$$ but a time sink because it's at least two visits, the first one pretty lengthy.

6. Good luck keeping that filling. |
|
If it's a good chunk of the tooth that's missing or it's on a corner, it won't last long probably. I had the same issue with one of mine and it wouldn't stay in place long.

7. Right now I'm just happy I could get it fixed so fast |
|
And like I said upthread, it will probably need a crown.

I had an issue similar to yours - they put a big porcelain filling on it and it is still going strong!
I made a decision to get 2 metal fillings replaced before the end of the year to maximize benefits. The Dentist's office has a special promotion where they match whatever the insurance company pays - after that, I am getting Zoom whitening and bonding on a front tooth to correct the shape a little bit.

10. oh, good. Sorry about your shattered molar, though |
|
Teeth problems are expensive and painful.
Hope you heal up well with as small a bill as possible.

14. Glad to hear it. Keeping one's teeth, especially when you're past the first flush of youth, |
|
is so damned expensive.
(PS If you're not past the first flush of youth, disregard this.) :-)
