Let me start by saying I am a dental COWARD. I think I'm about as bad as can be, just short of avoiding the dentist altogether. One of my teeth broke a few months ago. Yesterday the dentist told me I would need to be referred to a peridontist who could do a crown lengthening - he says I need to have a piece of bone removed so he's better able to fit a crown. Altogether, even WITH dental insurance, this is expected to cost me around $800 or more. SO. My questions are.... 1. How painful is this? 2. Is it worth it? I mean, extractions are FREE on my dental plan, so I kind of wonder if I should just have it pulled. It's the second molar on my bottom left side. 3. How well did it work for you?? 4. Would you do it again?? THANK YOU!!

Firstly, most people are worried about going to the dentist. Even I am and want to be one. 1. Just the prick of the needle and you may not even feel this. 2. Depends on many factors: eating- do you think you will want a tooth their to chew your food with. age- if you are getting older then is it worth doing or could you do without. look- having a tooth looks nicer. If you extract and you later want a tooth. then you are looking at an implant or a bridge (both expensive). 3. Sorry none for me. 4. see #4 :)
