It has actually broken off from below the gum line and when I rinse my mouth it looks like specks of soot keep rinsing out. The sharp bit sticking up is not a shard of tooth, it is the thing they put down the root canal when the root has been removed, which would have reached the top of the tooth after it was cut down for the crown to be fitted - that is why it is sticking up.
The root will have to be dug out and I have no idea how they will go about it, as I know from the panoramic X-rays I had done a few years ago before I had a couple of other crowns made, also two permanent bridges, how deep the roots of those back molars go, and being in my lower jaw it is not going to be a simple thing. I am not even sure if it can be done at the dental clinic or whether it would have to be done at the special dental clinic at the hospital.
My main concern is leaving Pereg. I dare not leave her alone in the bungalow as there is no safe room to shut her in - well I do not have any doors so could not shut her in anywhere in any case. And it is going to be extremely risky for her to go to daycare at the moment even though they are happy to still have her in spite of her epilepsy. My worry is that she is so disorientated when coming out of a seizure and if she had one there, not in her own home where at least I am with her to try and cope with her, what would she do?
And they cannot watch her every minute, can they?
I would never forgive myself if something happened to her and I was not with her and she was alone. I even cancelled the mammogram I had on the 11th of this month because of the worry about leaving her.
Just do not know what to do.
