A big chunk of my tooth broke off

yeah my dentist told me that gold lasts the longest for the back teeth. maybe your dad can add some diamonds.

I'm sure you being not nice, is perfectly acceptable niceness to most men.

If he likes being around you when you are grumpy, that is a good sign.

Remember, you are trying to be more open, more willing to be vulnerable, more willing to let your warts be seen and vice versa.

Go.

He actually did that for a lady, but it was a porcelain crown and it was for her cuspid. She wanted a little diamond inbedded in it, and then had my dad make it so that it would stick a little further out, so as to call some attention to it. He had another guy request an elk head on his tooth. So my dad made him a front tooth with the silhouette of an elk head on it. To each their own.

You should be fine to eat withint 2-3 days depending on your comfort level. It just takes some getting used to, I think.

You can eat with a temporary crown, it won't be a problem.

Just don't eat sticky things like caramel with a temporary corwn. It also tends to be temperature sensitive, but otherwise is fine.

I have a gold crown and have had it for years. It is fine, but I much prefer the look of the porcelain. Recovery time (menaing loss of soreness and sensitivty) will vary depending upon the tooth and your tolerances.

If you want your life to be made into a romantic comedy you would go. Having the girl undergo teeth surgery and then spending time with her boyfriend would make for some wacky scenarios.

btw, I had a root canal a couple years ago. It made me feel like one of those young people who broke a hip because of menopause. I felt like someone my age ought not be having root canals. But I survived (pocketbook took a hit, no dental insurance).

Well the novacaine is starting to wear off now, and if it gets no worse than this I can't imagine that this is going to be anything I can't stick out sans the painkillers. He gave me codeine, but I my friend says it makes you feel like your swimming in glue. Although she's recommending I take it so that I'll know what it feels like to smoke a joint.
