I had a dentist appointment back in October as my back molar (already filled) was hurting when I bit on anything hard. The dentist recommended a crown, which was booked to be done in December. The dentist then had to cancel my appointment due to a problem with the lab which would be making the crown. It was then rescheduled for January.
Whilst waiting for the appointment for the crown to be fitted, a piece of the molar which was due to be crowned, broke off. The dentist did a filling in the part of the tooth which had broken off. At the appointment, the dentist said if you change your mind about having a crown, let me know.
Roll forward to a month later, the filling seems perfectly adequate and I am thinking perhaps I don't need a crown? I can chew with no problems and there is no pain or discomfort at all.
I know I should get back in touch with the dentist to discuss it, but just wondered if anyone had any pearls of wisdom or similar experiences? I am due to go for the first appointment to get the crown done next week.
