I had mine, too. The dentist said that one time bleeding (and not a lot of it, and only on the bottom of the mouth) was probably due to accidentally injuring the gum. Since it has not repeated, she is not worried. She found my mouth in good order, but then...

... when she was doing her exam, there was a popping sound and a crown came off one of my farthest bottom teeth. The crown is porcelain fused to metal which means it is old as now they do not make such crowns. She looked it up in my history: the crown dates back to 2012. She suggested we update it to a modern Zirconia crown. I agreed. To do that, since the nerve is very close, I will first need to do a root canal. She referred me out for that since her office is undergoing renovations now and she does not have equipment to do a root canal. I will make an appointment at that other office with her colleague tomorrow. After the root canal is done, I will go back to her for a new crown.

For now she cemented the old crown temporarily and told me to floss carefully, with the movement "through" but not "up".

Most of my insurance allotment will probably be spent on this: root canal and a new crown. I already paid today for that temporary cementing, and also for fluoride coating. The cleaning itself is covered 100% as preventative.

I feel lucky that I have insurance to cover this sudden emergency.

Splitimage, how was your visit?
