Dentist? Tooth just cumbled

[kazzs]

Help! My back tooth just crumbled in half! Its not half gone and sharp.. It had a bit of decay aling gum that dentist was watching.
What happens now?!
Extraction? Crowns?! I know nothing about dentistry. Hownling do these take and cost!?!? Thanks

If it is a back one you could probably have it removed. I have broken a few, and my dentist has built them up with the white filling material, but I see a private practice, not sure what NHS do.
Don't understand why the decay has not been dealt with though, why was the reason for keeping an eye on it?

My last one cost £90 to be repaired privately.

NHS dentist built up my back tooth ok when this happened to me.

NHS do do white crowns.

I dont know why it was left to be honest.. I have check ups, clean and polish every 6 months.. I guess it should have been sorted before this happened :-(

I have back crowns white provided by MGS.

**NHS

Id be asking some questions here
Why was it left ? Why was it not spotted earlier ? Why wasn't it treated earlier ? Do you have to pay ? If yes why You done your bit by coming to appointments as requested ( I'm assuming)
If it was just left to rot that's called supervised neglect - dentists have been sued for this
Not saying you should go down the legal route ( unless you want to ) but this sounds like poor treatment and you need answers
Yes can be treated by extraction or root filling and crown as necessary depending on what the NHS will
allow
Hope you get it sorted
