Timing seems to be the worst for me. My surgery is in 3 days and my crown just broke, so did the tooth underneath. I'm sure going to need an extraction of the tooth and am going to need a bridge. How long after surgery should I get this taken care of? I met with the patient care coordinator but my doctor is out in Canada and she said that major dental work should be scheduled 6 months later! I don't know if an extraction is considered major... I don't want to be nearly toothless for 6 months. Help.
