Dental question for you if you have a minute.
1998. Flag football championships. My QB went John Elway on me and threw a 5 yard pass at high velocity. Went through my hands and into my face. It pushed my front tooth back into my mouth and was basically horizontal. I pulled it forward, pushed it back up, and drove on.
Not surprisingly the tooth died and now that I have good med coverage and a well paying job I want to fix the ugly thing.
I have yet to see a dentist in my area and before I go I thought I'd get a few tips from you. I have a dentist here who is NOT on my PPO list but is so highly regarded by everybody that I'd rather see him if I can afford him.
Do I get both front teeth filed down and capped so that even though my right front tooth is fine, they both look the same?
Is there another option(s)?
What does fixing something like this cost, ballpark?
Just looking for some info before I go see the dentist.
