It's been...one of those weeks. And then, just now, I broke a molar right down to the root so both parts are operating independently from each other (meaning, not even soft food is safe, as it gets in the crack and puts pressure that hurts) How safe would it be to pull the 'floating' part out? ETA: this is more uncomfortable than painful. I think the nerve has been dead for a long time, so the pain comes from pressure when the 'loose' part moves against the bone/gum. No swelling. #teeth
