Okay, this is minor and silly but here goes. I have had a tooth ache for many many weeks and I have not gone to dentist as I owe big bucks for familie's treatment. Have been flossing and washing and brushing. That and the fact that my hurting tooth has a root canla nd aq crown. Well, today I was playing with it and it was lose. Eventually I replace it where it should go and all except the inflamed gums, the tooth doesn't hurt. Where on earth have I been huh? All better
