Hi, ive had a problem tooth I put off having treated for years, it was cracked and eventually cracked further when the dentist tried to treat it to the point he had to remove one quarter of it. I had it filled and 3 times in 18 months the filling has came out. Tuesday I'm due for a private filling (the NHS wont do this type) where the dentist will implant a pin into my tooth so the pin head can support the filling as there isn't a surface all the way around to support it. I am beyond petrified. I can't find much info on the net and just wondered if anyone had had this and can tell me what I can expect? The filling part is never so bad I just wondered how invasive the implanting of the pin is, how long it takes, how much drilling is involved and how painful it is? :/ thanks
