I just finished up with the same deal. I was peacefully eating my breakfast food of sticks and twigs (granola) when I bit on a raisin that seemed to have a piece of coconut shell sticking into it. The shell part hit dead center in tooth #12 and split a perfectly good tooth right through the center. Dentist said the nerve was hanging out of the pulp cavity. Root Canal time (my first!), cobalt screws 19.5 mm long up into the full length of the roots, nearly into the upper jaw, epoxy tooth rebuild, and a crown to top it off. Cost more than a good running 8N ($2500).
Guess what.... over 65 YO, no insurance from the old employer, no Medical Savings acct, no dental support from Medicare, NADA. Write check for full amount and hope it doesn't happen again. Dentist said another patient had similar broken tooth and could not pay for the fix, so he just had to pull what was left of her broken tooth to keep the cost down.
I can just imagine what that $2500 could have bought.... a decent Bridgeport mill, a restored tractor of the late 40's, early 50's, a heating system for my shop, a trip to Sweden to visit relatives on their farms.... oh the list could go on for a long time.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
