Thanks so much for all your expert information Bryanna. You've given me a lot to think about, and I will discuss these things with the Dr.

It sounds like there is no easy solution along with (more) financial burden no matter what I do! And you are correct ... I do have other dental issues as well; however they do not seem to be as urgent as taking care of this one; especially since it's my front tooth. I feel my years of dealing with stress has caught up with me; as I'm dealing with a few other hard-to-diagnose medical issues atm.

Thank you again for your help :-)
