Any Misc Dentists here? Need some advice..

In one of my back Molars i have a huge filling, a few months back i was biting on a pizza crust and a piece of tooth chipped off. Due to fuking corona and not being registered at a dentist in my new area i'm seriously struggling to find a dentist and more and more tooth is breaking off. Emergency dentist will only see me if i'm in severe pain and will only extract the tooth.

The tooth has cracked off below the gum and there's more filling than tooth left on top - My question is, would a cap or any other solution be available other than extraction? I grind my teeth which probably caused this in the first place and the stress of not being able to see a dentist is making the grinding worse.

I don’t see why an emergency dentist wouldn’t do a root canal, which would be your only option other than extraction anyway.

So socialized medicine really works well.

It has it's advantages and disadvantages. Dental care is weird here, we still have to pay for it on the NHS it's just a lot cheaper but now due to corona, no NHS dentists are taking on new patients and i can't afford a private dentist which are extortionate.

Biggest mistake of my life not taking better care of my teeth. Brushing and flossing religiously now but it's a little too late.

Possible treatment ranges from cap to root canal and a cap to extraction. Impossible to say without seeing it or an xray.

They can make you a new tooth and they drill into your bone and put a screw in, then put crown? on top.

Sounds like a case of British teeth.

My condolences.

Cheers
