Ouch

Went to the dentist the other day, and apparently one of my teeth that had root canal done on it, requires a crown. I'm wondering if it's normal for a 21 year old to have a crown? Anyone else have one?

I had to get a crown when I was 14. One of my teeth didn't "grow in" fully, there was what they called an "imploding cavity" which is basically like a cavity that starts from the inside because the gooey stuff that a tooth starts out as didn't completely form into its full hardness.

does that mean you are defective, konichiwa?

 

[konichiwa]

Sort of. I have really fscked up teeth. Not to mention that I have one eye tooth missing. Just gone, as in a genetic defect. I never got an adult eye-tooth, I have a fake tooth there.

don't worry, I had one done too, it's one of my back tooth, I got the crown few years ago, I think I was 16-17 then, yea, that's pretty bad, so don't worry, it's not too young to have one

I never had a crown put in...but from what I see from the postings, it is not unnormal for someone to get one under the age of 25
