Getting a tooth pulled.

As long as we're on a tooth subject, has anyone had a root canal done and not a crown on that tooth, if so..how many years are you on now without a crown?

Get the fucking crown, this is exactly why I had to get the tooth yanked today. Cause one day when I was new at ATK almost 2 years ago I was eating a milk dud and the tooth broke a bit. Little by little it got worse and eventually got really bad, my gum got infected, and after I saw the x-ray I knew it was no laughing matter. Basically I was a walking time bomb to where I could of woken up one morning with an infection that was the size of a golf ball.

Over the last 2 years I've spent a lot of time getting my teeth fixed up, and even had some serious cosmetic work done for preventative reasons. I'm not ashamed to admit I was horrible as a kid and in my teen years for keeping my teeth good and clean, but I do realize how important it is now. I wouldn't suggest putting anything off very long.
