    Half of one of my lower molars just cracked and fell out. I'm not in any pain, it's just very sharp. Is it essential that I get the rest of the tooth removed to prevent infection? Or might it be okay to leave it? What options do I have?

    I'd appreciate any advice as I had a bad experience with the last dentist I went to.

    Get it seen to asap!

    Same thing happend to me, haddent been to the dentist for over 10 years and just kept putting it off because I was dreading it.

    He gave me a root canal first to try and save it, would have had a crown after that but he said it was too badly damaged and that it would have to be removed.

    Had it removed at a later session. And some fillings at the same time.

    In all honesty it wasn't as unpleasant as I thought it was going to be, At one point there was a little pain from the heat of the drill so he promptly gave me more of the anesthetic.

    The worst part of it all was the fillings. I was terrified of getting root canal and extraction but they were pretty harmless.

    Have to go back in 6 months to fill the gap. Thats the worst bit cause its very expensive!
