Two days ago I had the screw implanted in my gum, and right after Memorial Day the dentist said I should be ready for the implant to be finished. So what is the replacement tooth I will be getting called -- a crown? It sounds like the crown should be as strong as the tooth it will be replacing -- is that right? So I should be able to chew popcorn and nuts on that side with confidence?
My father, who is always right
, blames my tooth cracking last summer on my popcorn addiction. So I have cut back eating popcorn to approx. 3 times a month.
