Asked By:KSwirz1986 in Las Vegas, Nevada

Female age 38 instant severe pain with air blown on it at cleanings. Dentist noted small portion of actual tooth edge is also cracked. Few questions…. 1. Recommendation is to remove my fillings in the tooth, use dental mesh to avoid damage to the tooth, place a temp crown and come back 2 weeks later for permanent porcelain crown. No root canal. No flattening of the remaining tooth but just to crown it. Is this best course to avoid issues later? I have severe dental anxiety
