Nann, when I am financially challanged...LOL...my dentist has used stainless
steel caps over my teeth...Your GOOD Dentist might be able to help you out
there...;)

This tooth is center front so we'd rather not go that route, though it might
give me a nice pirate look. Actually, the previous large filling lasted
several years and we should be able to do another crown in '07. I'm letting
the GOOD dentist determine the order of priority for the crowns.

It's bizarre, after very little tooth trouble as a kid, they started decaying
left and right just about the same age that my psoriasis first hit and I
began to get periodic spells of aching hands. I think my immune system
really whacked out when I hit puberty.
