Personally id get some pliers and give it a tug, might hurt a little/alot, but think of all those sweeties you could buy for your grand kids, they would love you mo4 and more, or at least till sweeties have gone. Fibromyalgia can cause problems with teeth, so if you have Fibromyalgia it might be worth telling the sadistic person who holds the pliers.

Good luck

Must have been at least six months between them, or they should have been all done under one treatment cycle.

And if you are on benefits, shouldn't it be free?

Sorry. Thought you might be,re your comment on pip. So trying to save you money😉. Also, when did you have your previous crowns? As I mentioned, if they are less than six months they should be classed as in the same course of treatment.

It was September but I think it's within two months I couldn't be that lucky just hope it's the last!!!

Lol. Amazing how a dentist can find another tooth that needs a crown, not long after your last treatment. Couldn't be anything to do with the fact they can claim another fee for it, rather than having to do both for the same single fee of course?? 😏😂😂😂
