Long story short, they took lots of x-rays and he's pretty convinced he can fix it.
I suspect that at some point in this long sordid tale, I will hear the words "crown" and "expensive" but right now, we're thinking simple repair.

The Supreme Court upheld the entire Obama Health Care law today, including the individual mandate that everyone must have health insurance.
I can only imagine the apoplectic seizure the Tea Party folks are having right now. I can hear them all yelling, "This is socialism! Socialism I tells ya!" at the top of their lungs.
I would like to point out that Social Security is socialism, public school systems are socialism, DPWs are all socialism, fire departments are all socialism and police departments are all socialism.
Socialism isn't necessarily a bad thing and, in the case of health care, it's actually a great thing.
People without insurance go to hospital emergency rooms for treatments that should be administered by a doctor or a clinic. Things like a cold or a sinus infection.
The reason people are going to emergency rooms is because hospitals cannot turn people away. They treat people without insurance and then pass the costs on to those of us with insurance. This makes everything ridiculously expensive.
Now, people will either have to buy health insurance or accept the government supplied health insurance.
This is good because, lets face it, no one likes paying the bill for the guy in front of you.
And trust me, no one likes watching their kid or spouse suffer because they don't enough money or insurance to get them the care they need.
If you don't think it's a good thing, you either haven't been paying attention or you are a heartless SOB.
