Fifth crown

June 3, 2024, Monday night, 7:44pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point,California, USA. Went to the dentist this afternoon to get fitted for a crown on my upper left tooth. A filling broke and instead of replacing it they are putting on a crown. This will be my fifth. I am not a fan of crowns. I doubt they are necessary, they cost five times as much as a filling and I have to wear a temp crown for three weeks that doesn’t fit well and won’t let me chew on that side of my mouth. Nothing is enjoyable to eat when you can’t chew how you usually do.
