Joey, this is OT but I had a hairline crack in a lower molar but
strangely all the pain was felt in the upper. One day while eating a
bagel, (the morning of my fathers funeral), the lower tooth peak, where
the crack was, finally cracked off all the way. Suddenly all pain in
the upper was gone. The nerves in this area criss-cross or something.
To this day whenever I feel that cracked lower tooth, I think of my
dad. As I was leaving the house to go bury him that morning, I was
chomping a sticky a bagel that pulled the broken the tooth fragment
off. For a couple years prior I lived with the pain thinking the upper
tooth was bad, when it was really the lower. I dont go to dentists
often enough, and I think my dad somehow left me this little reminder
of him in my mouth. 2k is steep but at least Canada will pay for some
of it.
