    Forgot to say the tooth is not dark it is a normal colour. I asked if it was infected and she said no. I was worried about that due to the CFS as years ago I had an abscess under a tooth and it made me quite sick. She never said the tooth was dead only that due to the chip I needed a crown.

    Then I'm in trouble because I have never had problems with hot/cold sensitivity for any of my teeth. I can't see that it would mean that all my teeth are dead so I'm sorry but I think that you are wrong with regards to that. I'm sure in 43 years if all my teeth are dead that a dentist would...

I have a temporary filling but she said she has patients that have had that in place and it has lasted them years and they haven't had to have a crown. To be honest I...

    Thank you for all the replies really appreciate it. I don't need root canal. But the tooth is in my smile line and because of the way it broke they feel a crown is the best thing to do as it will save the tooth and make it stronger. Luckily for me I didn't need root canal. They just evened up...

    Hi, I wasn't sure where to post this but I'm hoping someone may have been through this and can help. I had a tooth break and I went to the dentist on Monday. Before I had even sat in the chair she asked what was wrong so I showed her. She sat me in the chair her assistant put the bib on and...
