I have a good dentist and she follows very strict procedures. I had a chipped tooth and a cavity under a crown. Last week she took care of the cavity and the chipped tooth and I now have 2 temporary crowns which she will remove and put in permanent crowns in a week. She will clean my teeth the same time she puts in the permanent crowns to save me a trip.
