I have a broken molar on my left side and I’ve been dealing with it for years because I couldn’t afford to have all 8 teeth removed that the dentist wanted to pull because I lost a corner of one molar.
If was explained to me that without that one tooth, the teeth on either side of it would move to fill the gap and would cause other problems, and without the teeth on the bottom the teeth on top would start to drop down and cause more problems, so if i wanted that one tooth fixed I’d need to pay thousands of dollars to get all the teeth on my left side pulled.
Being the gullible idiot I am, I trusted the medical professional and decided that if it had to be done that way, I’d just have to live with it the way it was because I didn’t have thousands of dollars to pay for the surgery and my job at the time didn’t offer dental.
