| I broke a tooth several months ago and since it was the weekend, I found some DIY tooth cement at the pharmacy.
Its like putty that you push into the space that helps keep out bacteria, etc., until you can be seen. I later received a crown.
I suggest going to the dentist. He won't do the crown until he's seen the damage. At that point you can ask about options, rather than a crown, and see what he has to say. If nothing else, they can give you a quote for the procedure. Remember, you don't have to have the crown done, but it might be wise to have him make sure the break isn't near a nerve, root, etc. |
