Hi,
Yesterday, while chewing gum, my crown fell off. I went to the dentist today, and I was informed that I had decay on that tooth which is why it fell off. She told me that the x rays did not show if there was further decay (she said x-rays are 2-d and she needed a 3-d view) in my tooth and that she would need to do a procedure to find out... it is possible that my tooth may need to get extracted. However, my insurance won't start till march 1st so I have to wait till then to find out if it will get extracted. How likely is it that i do have further decay in my tooth? Is it common for teeth to be extracted after decay? I'm so worried about this, I hope it can get saved... It's one of the biggest teeth i have.
