Remember that loose crown I was talking about earlier? Well... the cement didn't give up on life.
Last night my mouth was more sore than usual so I decided I would pop off the crown so that the gum could have a bit of rest and I would make an appointment at the dentist within the next few days. (finally got dental insurance back).
It is 3AM and I pull on the crown and...
the ****ing post came out with it. The cement was just fine. The connection between the tooth and the post was ****ed.
It is now 3AM and I'm having a panic attack because I pulled my crown and post completely out of my mouth. I consider using the emergency line for a dentist but decide against it because my mouth now actually feels better than it did before. Instead... I research on dentists all night and decide on a few to call and see who could get me in the quickest.
I get an appointment at 8:30 and am told an extraction is the only thing left to do. They agree to pull it out at around 10:00 and now I have a gaping hole in my mouth
Now I get to figure out to gather $1,700 for a bridge. YAY!!!!
