The broken tooth root is about half way into the crown post, so possible to repair the crown with another one.

But holy bejebus, a broken rib is like the ultimate in pain. Deep breaths? forget it. Lift anything forget it. Sleeping - imposs to forget but shoots you awake when you roll over. Cough - agony. Sneeze - holy mother, it's like getting hit in the chest with a high speed train. And what's worse is it's gonna be like this for over 2 months

Anyone ever had the misfortune to have the same?
