So this is very gross. I have two back molars, both on the bottom, one left one right, that are practically shells after being chipped and general decay; although it isn't lack of care. I chipped one while playing football (i'm not sure how it happened but I hit the ground hard and it cut my mouth up something nasty), and the other was drilled and filled with a temporary filling (also not sure why but at the time seemed important to the dentist).
The football one cracked again before I could get it fixed and now it's simply an empty cavity. It doesn't hurt so I think I must of done either a) significant nerve damage, or b) its dead.
The second (drilled), the filling came out and cracked in the process. The dentist, who gave me the filling (temporary) refused to fix the damage unless I payed to have it filled again as well as the first one (even though it was his suggestion that he fill it that way). This one is sensitive to hot/cold, and to being brushed, but is much better then it used to be.
They aren't a huge problem but I'm wondering, aside from having them surgically removed, if there are any other options.
