So I have worked in the Dental profession for going on 18 years now, I know how important good oral hygiene is really I do. So why is it that I have the worst teeth ever? Last week I took an x-ray of a tooth that was bothering me off and on for awhile now. We see a little area of suspicion but nothing too alarming. Give the girl some anti-biotic and she is good to go!!! Yeah not so fast! So yesterday I take another x-ray (this is less then a week later) and oh my gosh my tooth is completely fractured in half!!! OUCH!!! Nothing can be done except to extract the dang thing. And I am here to say PAINFUL experience!!! Please - extracted teeth, bridge work, whats next DENTURES!
