Broken tooth

I was at lunch today when I felt something rough. It was my filling on the top of my tooth. The inside of my tooth near my tongue broke.
Fortunately I was able to leave work and get an appointment with my dentist who is in the same area where Joe works.
I was having a problem with sensitivity to this tooth for a couple of years. When the Dr looked at it and said there was nothing wrong I thought he was brushing me off. Now I understand that it was nothing he could see. I was having problem with sensitivity because my tooth was breaking underneath the filling.
I could have either had a filling done to fill in and possibly have a problem in the future, or have a crown put on. I opted for the crown. I am walking around with a temporary crown for now. going back in 3 weeks to have the permanent put on.
A small fortune later. All I have to say is thank goodness for dental insurance and a flex spend account! Thanks Apple INC!
