Out of the fucking blue, didn't have a cavity or anything in it. It's one of my canines on my right side. I was chewing on a tootsie roll pop when CRACK. This is fucking horrifying. There's no pain, but using my tongue and a mirror it's like the entire "top" part of the tooth just snapped off, there is a really sharp jagged edge at the gum where the tooth, uh, root goes. My mouth is bleeding like crazy. Again, no pain, which is also scary, but I'm freaking the fuck out.
Gonna go to the dentist in the morning, but I really need some words of encouragement to make me feel better. I guess there's no chance of saving the tooth, I mean it's broken the fuck off. I put the old tooth part in milk, I've read about doing that. Will they have to do an extraction? Do they have to put me to sleep to do that? I have cheap-ass dental insurance that really only covers cavities and teeth cleaning, anybody know what something like this would cost out of pocket, worst case? What can they do? Can I get, like, a false tooth for the gap?
Maaaan this is literally like a nightmare come true. I dream about my teeth falling out all the time. I'm so fucking mortified.
