These teeth have looked like this for at LEAST the past 7 years (since 2001). The patient has been informed that ‘doing nothing’ will probably lead to more expensive and potentially painful treatment. No worries! It doesn’t hurt, so the patient wants to leave it!
A few days ago we got a call and….you guessed it…the patient was in CONSIDERABLE pain. He was sent to the endodontist where he needed an immediate root canal. To make matters worse, he had just needed some costly repairs on his house, so finances will be REALLY tight.
Moral of the story: FIX teeth before there’s an EMERGENCY. It will save you time, money, and pain.
