Many years ago I broke a molar on a piece of bone in a fishcake. the dentist I was seeing at the time wanted to extract the tooth, but I said no because I didn`t trust her, I thought that she was too keen to pull out teeth because she was too lazy to repair them. I went & saw aother dentist, & he filled it & it was fine. A couple of years ago the filling broke, & I had the tooth crowned.
