I just left the dentist after trying for a root canal for the 2nd time. They still couldn't numb the tooth ( very last molar on the lower right of my mouth) and it felt like I was being stabbed. The first time they said I had an abscess and that's why the tooth wouldn't numb. And they weren't upset.
This time, I felt more numb than last time but it was the same stabbing sensation. And as I'm typing now, the tooth is throbbing. They chalked it up to nerves, since the infection couldnt be there anymore because of the antibiotics, and I felt guilty for not calming down (though I was trying??) They seemed annoyed. But I couldn't help that it literally felt like I was being stabbed!!
They gave me the legal limit of numbing and it still felt like stabbing.
Now I'm scheduled for a 3rd appointment, this time with nitrous because the dentist said it should help my nerves (though I don't understand how nerves could cause it felt like stabbing pains??) And I'm scared. So scared. What do I do this time if it doesn't numb? How do I calm down to a point to where it doesn't effect the numbing? Is the nitrous gonna help at all?
I just want the pain to stop.
