He said when he looked at it prior, that most teeth don't crack like that. It was a big visible crack with decay right in the front of the tooth when looking straight at it. The doc had to section out the tooth with drill action because the roots were long and splayed. I felt the slightest of tugs as he brought out each piece. Of course,the drill was loud and rumbly. It took a little longer as he was working to get the tooth out, but this was also the case when he removed number 14. I feel a huge sense of relief...I can't tell you. Feeling pretty good so far, hungry of course... )

As always, thanks for being there for those of us with tooth issues of all sorts!
