i broke a tooth while eating dinner. i have this tooth with a ginormous filling in it. the dentist told me ten years ago to get a root canal on it. i decided to wait until it broke, being that the procedure is more or less the same, as the dentist described it. well, it is now broken. probably about 20 percent of the visible tooth broke off and is now being digested. i didn't realize immediately that i had broken a tooth.

the upside is that the filling is still in place and the nerves do not seem to be exposed.

the downside is that it is going to take a while to get a dentist appointment. i am betting the wait will be two weeks or more.
