Today a man came in with a tooth that was badly broken and useless. Thanks to modern technology, we extracted the tooth, cut off the root and cemented his own tooth in between the other two. This is not a permanent fix, but now he doesn’t have to go out with a large gap when he smiles, and he can save for a more permanent solution while the area heals and the bone fills in. It is procedures like this that make me glad I’m a dentist.
