no i have never had a root canal, the reason they are suggeting that i get a crown is because the old silver filling i have in there is in the process of weakening the tooth around it...... if i take my moms advice and wait, she will likely help pay for it .... as far as my wisdom teeth are concerned, yes, they are overcrowded and they do hurt, the previosu dentist i went to said it was a "myth" that the overcrowding would lessen if i got the teeth removed and that it would not necessarily help with the pain

total BS. ...... within five minuits of walking in the dentist asks me why in the world i havent had them removed before...... so yes, the wisdom teeth is something that i HAVE to do...... the crown thing i am a little skepticle on, i think i could go some time as it is and not have a problem, i called my aunt (who used to be a dentist) and she said that it is not a priority but to get it done within the next couple years
