Dental health care, Broken wisdom tooth
I just notice that I had a broken top right wisdom tooth. I got all my teeth and they never gave me any problems. However I notice when I was done eat that my wisdom tooth was very sharped edged. I think I cracked a part off without knowing it.
I do not have dental insurance so will it be cost to remove? Will the dentist need to remove it? I not sure what to do at this point.

Well first get a dental insurance or dental plan in place unless you can afford to pay for dental services without having dental insurance. Then go to the dentist you may be able to save the tooth by just having a crown put on.

Since it is a wisdom tooth that is broken you may be better off just having the thing pulled. However a dentist would be able to advise you on the right course of treatment. I do agree if you do not have dental insurance now may be a good time to get some.

I would go to the dentist. Either way you need to do something. It is not good to have a broken tooth for too long because decay can easily set in and start causing a lot of trouble and pain.
