Mutha!
So it all started when I was snacking on some Gardetto's Garlic Chips.
Yes, those chips are very garlicky, but on the downside, the chips are very hard in texture.
After chomping on some of those garlic chips then swallowing......I noticed something odd had happened in my mouth.
What happened???
I basically cracked a tooth! Ai-yai-yai!!!
I texted Dr. Steve & showed him what I was eating & told him - "I either chipped my tooth, or that the cap/crown fell off". There was no recovery because I ended up eating it. Lol!
Dr. Steve immediately asked me if I was in any pain (luckily I was not in pain).
He then gave me dates of availability on when I could come into his office to see him.
Got a quick appointment with Dr. Steve, and while visiting Dr. Steve, it turns out that I cracked a tooth.
I was assuming that the tooth I had cracked had no nerves, but when Dr. Steve took an x-ray of the area where the cracked tooth was, it turns out that the cracked tooth actually had nerves inside, so luckily the way my tooth cracked, it didn't cause me any pain.
What next?
Dr. Steve was able to save my tooth & put a crown over my cracked tooth. His hands are truly magical, as when he had to numb my mouth to clean up & prep my tooth for a crown, I barely felt anything when he stuck that needle in my mouth.
A mold was made of my mouth, then a temporary tooth was made to protect my cracked tooth.
After getting the permanent crown made, I went back to visit Dr. Steve so he could install my new crown.
No pain at all installing my new crown, and the new crown looked like my real tooth!
