I've had all 4 of my "wisdom teeth" pulled, but before that, the one on my upper left rear had crushed the molar next to it. There's about a third of the tooth now missing and what was left had a big cavity because of it. I told my dentist (who is very good) that I wanted to have it pulled but he enthusiastically said he just wants to fix it.
So, I went through having a root canal and big filling. That was going great for several months, but one day I was eating and the filling came out (doesn't surprise me because I tend to gnash that tooth with my lowers). Now, there's basically a missing chunk and valley in the tooth and one of the remaining peaks is continuously being ground away.
I don't necessarily want to fix it again if this will keep happening. If you are a pro', please tell me what you think and what problems I may encounter if I just leave it as it is now.
Thank you.
