[quote=desmond]My last visit for cleaning I had the full X-rays done and can you believe it, they found a crown that should be replaced, because you know “it is not a matter of if it will go bad but when!!! I am not going to do the crown. [/quote]
As much as I agree with everyone else on dentists/upselling (which I also try my hardest to ignore), your dentist might be telling the truth about this one. My dad had a crown go bad and had to have a second root canal (I don’t even know how that was possible, since I thought they basically got rid of your tooth when they did a root canal). He was tried to ignore it for a month or two, since he figured he had a crown and clearly nothing could be wrong, but he was in incredible pain. And it was SUPER expensive to fix – much more so than just replacing the crown would have been.
