Hey guys, about a year 1/2 ago I got a filling on one of my molars that my dentist said was a pretty big filling and I might need a root canal on it at some point but she was happy to try just a filling first. Things were fine until 2 weeks ago when part of the tooth around the filling fell out when I was eating. I freaked out at first but I wasn't in any pain at all and planned to book an appointment with her to see what to do about it.
Basically I didn't get around to going to see her, mostly due to laziness, fear of dentist, and the fact I wasn't in any discomfort at all. Until 4 days ago when I was eating popcorn in the cinema and from what it seems, most of the filling has fallen out now also, leaving about half of the tooth. This again didn't hurt but I planned to book and appointment with her.
Same story, didn't bother, told myself I'd be okay for a while. Early yesterday evening my tooth started to give a massive dull ache which has got worse overnight to the point that I'm sitting on my laptop here at 7am having not slept a wink. So depressing and so painful. I realise I need treatment ASAP but am petrified of it/what she will say to me. Also just out of uni and looking for work so payment will be an issue too.
Grim times. Clean your teeth guys.
