DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Stupid tooth!

So .... I have a tooth that was in really poor shape, that needed a root canal. It took 3 months to get in to have it done, but now it is done. OK .... good deal.

I called my dentist to set up for the crown, and it was going to be 2 months. Yea.

Went to lunch today. This was my once every 2 or 3 months treat, so I stopped and got a filet. (No, not O'Fish) It was really good. However, my tooth with a week and a half old root canal tooth broke. (on a very tender filet) Split right down the middle. : I stopped at my dentist office to ask them what I should do .... see the dentist, or should I go back to the people who did the root canal. I should see my dentist. OK, great. Can I at least have hi m take a look at the tooth? Oh no ..... too many appointments. *Sigh* I have a piece of the tooth actually hanging in my mouth ..... but I suppose I can wait to have it looked at. This damn tooth is really sharp where it broke, and I have chip chopped my tongue about 3 or 4 times already tonight.

I am really irritated.

/end rant

literally the same thing happened to me last month (but it was on a grape, not filet lol)

Really an annoying thing - I had to wait weeks to get in to see anyone

Sorry man. That sucks. I was febrile as a baby and both of my top 6 years came in looking crap. The one on the right side eventually got a root canal and that cracked. Had it extracted and an implant put in. Wish I had just gotten that done to begin with.

The broken piece of the tooth just came out ...... and it stopped stabbing my gum. The nurses assistant said that he would have to build the lost part of the tooth back up ..... so that's OK .... I think.

Ugh ... I've cut my tongue about 5 times .... because there is a jagged piece on the top of the tooth.

I wonder if Dremel sells a long extension so I can grind it off myself?
