Tooth update

The good news:

No crown needed.

No root canal.

Bad news:

The good news?

190 Euros.

She was so apologetic. She doesn't realise that in Canada we count these things in the thousands of dollars not hundreds.

Photos coming I hope...I am predictably having trouble with it...along with my internet connection, so if I disappear, you'll know why.

My dentist says I need a crown. Pretty cheap prices there....but the plane fare might make up for the exchange....

Sorry to hear that you have to go for more dental work than what you were expecting. Hope it isn't too painful.
