Symbiosis 2

One of my teeth cracked badly. No pain, but looks like the dentist is getting a visit when I get back.

Yesterday, the Belwood's muffler cracked almost in two. No fumes, just very loud, looks like I'm getting a new muffler.

I cracked a tooth a couple of weeks ago. The dentist tells me I need a crown (expensive gloom) and tomorrow I go in to have it ground down to a stump, preparatory to fitting the crown. I'm not looking forward to that...

With luck you'll just need a filling -- I've had that before. But don't leave it too long. If it does get infected, you won't like it!

Good luck.

I've had all variants (thanks to crumbly teeth) - the requirement for a full crown like yours, just a filling, and once the wonderful news that 'it's just a corner of the tooth, I'll just smooth the edges and it'll be fine'.

Dentists charge a fortune, and my one's pretty pricey, but I'm prepared to pay it cause he'll fit me straight away if I've broken a tooth. Last time it was sharp enough to cut my tongue and I couldn't speak properly!

Yes -- that's why I stick with mine. I've needed emergency appointments several times for broken teeth and lost fillings etc and he's always fitted me in on the same day. It's worth paying for.
