Hello all
I am a recovering dental Phobic (Well ish).......................
.
I have had all my upper jaw treatment completed, (2 extractions and 6 fillings),
During the consultation, the dentist did and x-ray and to my dismay he discovered a huge abscess under my lower right premolar. This abscess does not hurt, but when I place my tongue over the decayed tooth I do get a nasty taste, (the tooth is decayed to gum level which im very ashamed to admit).
I was wondering if anyone can help me understand, why is it when you go to the dentist with an abscess they will not carry out any dental work they would prescribe you antibiotics, yet in my case the dentist has not prescribed anything, Will my tooth get numb?
Im REALLY scared as I have never had a lower jaw injection and all my friends have told me that this kills, I have had a injection to the front upper lip, which was sore , But bearable, Could anyone put my mind at rest . Please.......................?
