I phoned my dentist at the very second they opened this morning,told them of my latest dilemma and then went to work. She called me back and said they could fit me in at 1:30 this afternoon, so I worked the morning class, and then left. I expected them to just cement the broken crown back on, patch it up, and then book appointments for a new temporary crown and molds, and then another to put the permanent one in. I lucked out, in that they had time to do all of the prep and temporary crown, so all I have to do is go back once more for just a half hour to get the permanent crown put in. So yay! I can smile again!
