And that's they way the cookie crumbles

Except it wasn't a cookie, it was my tooth. It was my perfect, grand sized molar, and it didn't crumble, it cracked from top to bottom and split all the way to the gum, and broke.

And the restaurant owner didn't even apologize.

Now the lunch thank you I bought for my sister has turned into a nine hundred dollar crown, and an unknown cost of gum surgery.

Ouch.

  2. Oh no, no. The restaurant is liable if it was some foreign object in the food, or a piece of bone or whatever. Not only do they owe you an apology, but lunch on them PLUS dental work. Talk to a lawyer.

  3. You poor thing. I bet the bill hurts nearly as much as the tooth.

  5. I cracked mine on a Coconut M&M. Thank God it had already had a root canal and I just had a crown put on...still sucks though! Teeth are a pain, literally.

  6. I am still avoiding the dentist. I chipped my upper back tooth too and it was real sharp at first. My tongue hurt from rubbing on it when I'd say my Ts at first but I gave it a couple days and now it doesn't hurt anymore so I avoid the dentist again--yea!

  10. Oh dear, oh dear. Been there, done that. I had two molars, both filled 30+ years before just crumble away (not at the same time, of course). They were both capped without root canals. So it's not always necessary. But they are pricey, that's for sure.
