I went to dentist today for regular cleaning and they found that I have broken filling in upper right, so they did filled in 2010. They told me that I probably need have crown and they went ahead to clean it. After cleaned, the dentist came to check my teeth and told me that he has to re-filling so if the filling breaks again, so he will have to crown it because my tooth structure is getting weaker for filling and make easier to break.
The crown is very expensive, about same price as MacBook Pro for one tooth. My dentist usually fill after break at first, if break again so crown is last resort.
They found that I have minor decay in 3 teeth, the between gap and I have to floss at twice everyday, instead of every 2 times per week.
Do you have any experience about crown?
For me, I use white filling and my dentist office don't have silver filling anymore, so dentist said white and silver filling will break. My mother had a lot of silver filling and many of them got broke so she got crown in early 80's.
