[PATIENT 1]
It is not bothering me.
I will deal with it next year.
[DR HAJEE 1]
What is it doing right now?
[PATIENT 2]
Nothing.
It is a small chip.
[DR HAJEE 2]
A chip means the enamel is broken, and enamel does not grow
back.
Chipping is an active process.
It is unpredictable when a chip gets worse, and how.
Right now that is a filling.
[PATIENT 3]
And next year?
[DR HAJEE 3]
Maybe still a filling.
Maybe a crown, if it cracks further.
Those two are about two thousand dollars apart.
[PATIENT 4]
You are trying to scare me into treatment.
[DR HAJEE 4]
I am telling you what I can see.
You can absolutely wait.
I would just rather you wait knowing that, than wait assuming it
is nothing.
