Yes, he said tooth was cracked and had never seen one "cracked that way". I don't know what that means...you could see the crack or at least a very obvious craze line in the tooth straight down the front of it and decay along the gum line and in the crack...the OS did not elaborate. I did look at the tooth once it was out (in pieces)...morbid fascination, I guess. So weird, teeth. For a cracked tooth with decay, it wasn't all that painful...it was a constant dull ache...and only the slightest pain on bite--on only one of the cusps. I am just thankful it is out. Two more with big metal fillings, but they seem to be dormant (as it were) for the time being. I keep hoping my RA will subside as these fillings go one by one. And perhaps once the metal fillings are out--who knows, a remission? I have had RA since I was 19 and rarely a day goes by that I am not in some kind of pain.

Thanks again for running this form--you do a great service to humanity! )
