ok please take the time to read and understand my situation, please!
ok i needed a root canal done but i just spent $1000 on one so I was waiting until the end of summer to get it.
Well the tooth had a lot of decay and was painful so my dentist did an "open and med" where he cleaned the decay, cut off the nerves of my tooth, and filled the cavity with temporary filling.
I want this to last 3 months, but today I accidentally used that tooth to bite on something and a piece of the tooth cracked off. Its a molar, so the part that cracked was a tiny piece on the side of it... my teeth are strong so i guess its weak now because of the filing that he did... but the whole tooth is still there and looks decent.
But is this a problem, should I go to my dentist bc a small part cracked off? It doesn't hurt and I definately won't use it to eat anymore.
I just don't want to end up having to get the the tooth extracted!
