Snickers Bar takes me out..

Post by HingsingM37 »

So Saturday night the wife and I are watching TV. I grab a little Snickers bar from the candy dish. 30 seconds into it I feel the crown on my lower right molar pull off. A great feeling... :cry: I spit out the candy in my hand and start fishing for the gold crown in the mess of chewed up candy. The expression on my wifes face was priceless...... :lol: Must call the dentist this morning, what a way to start the week :roll:

The beauty of losing your crowns is that I am about on the 4th one and the gold is piling up.
Lets see. what was gold $1050.00 an ounce.

I can't seem to go a full year without breaking a tooth and needing a root canal. My God , $950 for 40 minutes in the dentist's chair and that does not include the required crown afterwards, that's another $600. $1550 to save a tooth, and I've had about 6 done so far in 10 years, more to come. I'm switching to baby food!

good news

I am happy to announce the dentist was able to re-cement my crown. 25 minutes and I was out of there. $79. I feared the tooth might be bad but all of the blackness was just the old cement. A little grinding, fresh glue, and I was good to go :D

I didn't think you could walk into the Dentist office for less than a $100. You got very lucky.
