So I am 19 years old and have never been to a dentist (besides cleanings as a kid.) I now have one tooth thats half gone, and 8 teeth that may have to get root canals. I also have severe general anxiety as well. I have a few questions. Is it at all possible to get a root canal/crown on a tooth thats half gone? The nerve is exposed and its horrifically painful, or do I have to get it pulled. How long does a root canal take? (just the drilling and stuff not prep). If I have to get it pulled whats it like the next few days?
Also, if I choose IV sedation do I feel high? I have a huge fear of feeling high. I cant even get drunk. I am absolutely terrifed and dont know how Im going to make it through this. I was thinking if I dont get sedation to just wear blacked out sunglasses and listen to music so I dont have to see or hear the procedure. Anyone try this?
Sorry for all the questions, my first appointment is tomorrow and Im so scared I feel like Im going to die.
