My teeth are disintegrating. - Page 2

Yeah, but the crown itself has been ordered and is being made...I guess I could take it to another dentist, but I'm just going to have 'Ahnold' (ha ha, he really does sound just like him) put in this crown. We're moving soon so I have a good excuse not to make any more appointments with Ahnold!!

I'm hoping another dentist will be able to save me from getting another crown. The other tooth is more decayed but the hole in it is smaller.

I remember being so smug when I was a kid that I never got cavities. I took it for granted that I had "good teeth". Guess there's egg on my face now!

Most likely, the other tooth will need a crown too, but since it's not something that needs to be addressed today, look for a dentist that deals with cosmetic/restoration dentistry.

I did something similar to you. I had a traumatic experience with a dental professional, and as a result, I put off seeing a dentist for a very long time. When I finally did get to a dentist, I ended up needing thousands of dollars in dental work that could have been avoided... heck, I'm still in the process of finishing it up.

I'm only 26 but since my last pregnancy and breastfeeding for 2 years my teeth have gone downhill fast! I've got the rotting along the backteeth gumline, and the holes. : I wish I had the money to fix it, but state insurance only pays for "emergencies." And even if I could claim this as one, there are no dentists around here to do it! :
