I have a pretty full schedule with school and work. A few of my teeth (i think mainly previous fillings) have gotten chipped lately. From what i remember reading if you don't get them fixed the pulp will get inflamed and eventually lead to heart failure. I'm not sure how right i am with that. But if that is the case, how long do i have before i start having problems? I plan to make an appointment and get in by the end of the week or beginning of next if i can. Just want to know how much of a risk i'll be running until then. And if bacteria does get in the blood system, is there any catching/curing it or are you pretty much done for at that point? any signs to look for?
