Hello, I would like some advice on an issue i have
In 2008 I had a back molar removed because id left it so long that there was hardly even any tooth left (terribly embarrassing) but I am deathly afraid of dentists. I vowed I would never let it go that far again...but alas the fear continued until I decided to go yesterday as i've had a slight pain in a tooth when i chew crunchy foods. There is no pain otherwise, but I thought best to check it out. Turns out I have 5 cavities in total !!!! but no pain as yet. Had an x-ray and there is no root canals to be done but the dentist wants me to have these fillings done over 3 treatments. Fine. Problem is i'm going abroad for 6 weeks later this week and do not have the time to do this.
I'm so worried about going away and ending up with an abscess or terrible pain. How can I prevent this? Is there some kind of temporary fix I can have on all these 5 teeth without having to have hours of treatment (and to be honest I cant afford it until I return anyways)
What is the likelihood of these 5 (she did say they were small-medium in size) cavities causing me serious issues in the next 6 weeks?
I'm terrified of having probs in a foreign country im nervous enough as it is at the dentist
Thanks so much for the help
