Broken tooth

Several months ago I felt a very loud crack from my back left lower tooth. When I went to the dentist he discovered that it was cracked and he tried to pin it together and cap it but it just got worse

Last week he gave up and we decided that it needed to go and today was the day. It came out in 2 bits (I thought it might be more!!) cracked across the centre.

As it still had an active nerve it is amazing it was never painfull!!!
