Does the tooth fairy come for half a tooth

[schneefink]

So apparently my body thought that I should get the most out of my dental check-up appointment? Literally two and a half hours before the appointment I had lunch and suddenly a tooth hurt and was loose, and then the doctor said it broke apart and took half of it out. Did not expect that, but if it had to happen at least the timing was ideal! Apparently it's not even that uncommon? I have another appointment next week to discuss what to do next (an artificial crown, possibly), but in the meantime I keep touching the half-empty space with my tongue and it feels very odd.
