I don't have great teeth but I've found, finally, a very good dentist and am feeling optimistic that things will improve - by and by as a treatment plan is put in place.
Just now, having a tiny piece of bread, I cracked an upper front tooth (a tooth immediate to the left of an upper tooth to be pricise but very visible when I open my mouth). What's come out seems to be a bit of tooth with a bit of filing so it was clearly filled at one point.
The new dentist is away until next Wednesday and I was able to make an appointment for then. But I'm so conscious of it - and fear it might come out altogether (there's not much of it left). I can cope with camera off during work meetings etc for the next week - it's actually worse than a gap - it looks what it is - very broken.
I guess this wouldn't qualify for NHS emergency out of hours treatment? And I wouldn't want the tooth removed just in case the new dentist could fill it again.
Is there emergency tooth filler that might do the job? This has really got me down - I'm working from home but in lots of meetings etc but, especially, because I just beginning to feel that years of problems could finally be put right. Thanks for any advice.
