It hasn't gotten to the point of severe pain. But it is chipping more and more with the stuff i eat. I have this temp fill that i bought in it but it doesn't hold long. I have medical insurance but not dental. I cant afford the dental. Any suggestions?
--------------------
There is no way around it - borrow money, use your credit cards, whatever - and go to the dentist take care of it. Believe me, you will pay many many times over what you have to pay now if you let the tooth break further. If it gets destroyed too bad, you will have to pay about $1000 extra to have it extracted, and then $2-$3K more for a replacement tooth; and if you wait on those, you will pay thousands and thousands and thousands more for the surrounding teeth and gum treatment. Let it be your consolation that a lot of dental insurance policies are so crappy anyhow, they only cover half and only up to a $1000 maximum - so a broken tooth is still extremely expensive. Think about this - if your car is broken down, you HAVE to fix it or you can't go to work. Well, this mouth of yours is like that, too.
