Toothache

[OakLeaf]

Now, let talk about a crown that breaks 3 times. Get zirconia for a bionic tooth!

That's why my dentist told me it wasn't even worth it for me to try porcelain. I've just got all the gold shining out the sides of my grin. Did you have your premolars removed when you were a kid? Many dentists I've seen as an adult have told me this was a big fad among dentists when people our age were kids. It totally ruined our bite and put the entire force of our jaws onto eight teeth. No wonder our molars crumble. Five crowns down, three more to go.

Plus, gold is supposed to be easier on your gums than porcelain.

I don't mind the feel of the temporary crown, but the offgassing makes me so sick I can't wait to get the stupid things out.

I'm going to have to get another one done pretty soon ... hope the tooth lasts until I get home or I'm going to have to find another dentist.
