I had my big appointment with the dentist, whom I believe is an oral surgeon, and it went okay. I have this problem with a cracked/broken molar in the back, and regardless of what I decide, it really needs to be removed, at the very least. The long term prospect is to have an implant put in, but that sounds a bit heavy, and probably expensive. It requires the insertion of titanium screws into my jaw. Yikes. Before anything, I needed to consult with an expert. Now since the tooth is so thrashed, removing it might get a little involved, but what I found somewhat refreshing was that he said it might not really be worth it to put an implant in. I won’t bore you with the details, even though it’s pretty interesting, but suffice it to say that biologically and financially, there is a lot to consider. The location in the back of the mouth doesn’t help.
The dentist alluded to the fact that I could just live without the tooth, and that might be the way to go. I was sort of happy with that. We’ll see where this one goes.
Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to Angel Fragallo for the pic.
