Oh man, that ain’t nuthin- ...6 crowns, 6 root canals...and counting!
Sorry about your tooth- but, you should have flossed. -:)
How about 8 major operations on both knees and hip and had to stay on in a body cast 6 times growing up ?
Lol, My teeth haven’t been worked on maintenance wise more than twice in 40 years!
I did get my very front tooth broke in half one time. Long story.
But, your right, flossing is the key and I do.
