Reply #12: Not much, actually.

I had a piece of molar fall off one day, for no good reason. I was eating catfish (long before I became veggie), so there was nothing to cause it.

I was terrified for a week that the dentist would tell me they were all rotten and falling out. I hadn't been to a dentist by then since I was a kid. He told me the opposite--said I had no cavities, and would probably never have any, and that sometimes teeth just break.

He wasn't going to do anything, but I told him the sharp edges were uncomfortable, so he patched it up. Wasn't that much, including xray and exam and cleaning. That was my last dentist appointment, too, come to it, so I guess I got my money's worth. So far. :)

Anyway, good luck. Check into it, you might be surprised. Or not. :shrug:
