What the heck? My tooth broke/cracked.

[CountryWolf07]

Great, I have to go to the dentist this afternoon to see what they can do about my broken/cracked tooth. I was eating a fiber granola bar!! It was just enough to BREAK my tooth in half. Thankfully, no pain, so I think it is just a dead tooth. I dislike dentists, and having to wait, and see what they will do. I am betting, I will get a new tooth in a couple days, if not today. Booo! Oh my gosh, I've had those dreams where my tooth or teeth would BREAK! And it actually did.

If it's dead, the root canal will be painless! They'll have to drill in, and fill it with stuff to put a cap on it.

I hope you have some kind of dental insurance???

I hope they can fix it without the RC - but if the tooth is dead, they may want to put on a cap to strengthen it, or it will just keep on breaking.

HUGS and good luck!

Been there too many times to count! I have inherited terrible teeth, and I'm usually eating something like a piece of CHEESE when it happens. I can truly sympathize. I'm sorry.


Treatment will depend on the depth of the break and general condition. Just wait for the dentist's word; no point in speculating the worst. Good luck!

I will find out in an hour or so to see what will happen. I still have the other half of the tooth but, it's just 1/2 cracked. You can see the 'stuff' inside. It is definitely dead. I did not feel anything when it cracked. Thank goodness. Well, if they are gonna drill, I'm sorry, but I NEED them to give me Novocaine! JUST IN CASE! And UNFORTUNATELY, I don't have some kind of insurance, but what can I do? I need to get it fixed. I am just worried about the outcome and how much it will cost me. *sigh* Crazy!

I wonder, if you put 1/2 of a tooth under your pillow, does the tooth fairy still give you something?

Haha I would do that except I kind of swallowed it along with the food not knowing. :/

Must be something going around. I just broke my last molar last week and had to get it repaired. The dentist drilled out the old mercury filling, made another piece of tooth to replace the piece I had broken and refilled it with the new material they use today. He did a great job and my tooth feels great. I had just finished supper when the piece broke , I must have swallowed it because I was sucking on a mint and didn't even notice when it broke.

I am so sorry. I do however have the best dentist in the world, he is in Parma if you want to know his name, pm me.

Like i said you don't have to go the crown way, it probably is best in the long run though,as you have to keep getting it done every few years, but it is a lot of money to find straight up, that is why i always went for the way cheaper option, again good luck and i hope you find a good dentist who will work within your budget.
