oh! the best part of my dentist visit yesterday is i had to be warned that i might need surgery. apparently the break was really deep. and as a rule you're not allowed to have anything foreign within 4mm of bone, jaw, whatnot. well right now they're sitting at 1mm to my jawbone. so after i get my real crown put on i have to keep an eye on gum irritation for the next couple weeks (and whenever i go to get cleanings) and if it's still irritated then i have to go in for surgery. they said it's nothing bad, that the whole thing would only take 30min and they'd only be in my mouth for a total of 10min taking bone out of my jaw. they said it might not be a problem they just wanted to warn me in advance.
