I’ve been having tooth issues with my tooth #20 since March.
I think my dentist cracked it when she was working on the one above it, but I can’t prove that. But, it was fine until the day after she worked on the one above it.

Since there there have been two root canals, crown preparation, jaw surgery to make more room for a crown, gum adjustment, more crown preparation and mold taking for the crown.

Today was the day to get the final crown and be done with it.

She took off the temporary, placed the permeant and then took a bunch of x-rays. (She really seems to want me to glow in the dark.)
She looked at the image on her screen and frown.
Then, she took out her other x-ray thing and irradiated me a few more times.

"It’s not right," she said, pointing at her computer screen. "See here in the back, these two parts are supposed to come together. They don’t."
"Despite it being made from the mold you took?"
"Yes. It doesn’t fit."

She then decided to try and make it fit by cutting down my gum. She did give me a shot for the pain first and didn’t actually tell me that’s what she was doing. But, she went at my gum with a knife and used tweezers to take pieces away, so I could figure it out.

Still didn’t fit.

"We’ll have to make a new crown," she said.
While I said nothing, people who know me for a while know my eyes go from green to yellow when I’m mad. I do not think she knew that before today.
"I’ll have it rushed," she said.
I still said nothing.
"I’ll get it installed as soon as it comes in!"
I still said nothing.
"If I put this one it, it will leak and you’ll get more cavities under it."
"I don’t want that," I said.

So, she took more impressions and then went to put the temporary crown back in.
But, in her haste to get it in, she forgot to take out the cotton rolls she put in when she was cutting my gum down.
She glued the temporary crown to it.

That meant starting over again.

What was supposed to be the final step that would take less than 1/2 hour, took almost 2 hours and is not the final step.
I am not happy about this.
