I’m not doing well at the moment. I have severe toothache, it’s been getting worse since end of last month.
I’ve been putting off going to dentist because of past trauma there and I’ve been so angry at my previous dentist for putting in a poor filling.
This filling fell out some time ago and now I’m in pain
I can barely sleep and painkillers don’t work and I’m so upset about that. The pain comes and goes in waves but it doesn’t stop coming. I was hoping it would stop eventually but it hasn’t.
I wish I had better teeth. It’s all my fault plus chronic breathing through mouth because of constant blocked nose. And my szs and meds.
I feel so despondent because now I’d need a bloody root canal and I’m in anxiety about it because dentists scare me and traumatise me. I am so upset about it
I don’t know how I’m going to cope and get through this right now! I’m planning to make appt on Monday but I’m so damn scared they make me gag I’m so sensitive in that. How on earth am I going to get through this???
I skipped the root canal and just had them extract the tooth…good luck…sorry you’re hurting so bad…that’s awful…maybe get some of that gum numbing stuff I forget the name.
@jukebox The worst is this cavity is between two teeth (on upper right) so I’d probably need two teeth taken out or root canalled and I already have a missing tooth next to it. How on earth am I going to chew??
I believe that since you really have to get this done you won’t gag. That’s my experience. They won’t hate you if you do. Maybe eat six hours before your appointment, some canned fruit and cottage cheese.
They. Numb you gums and sit til it kicks in. Don’t be afraid. I had four teeth pulled at once. Just relax. You may have to wait to pull it if it is infected.
