Hi guys,
I'm a 20 year old male and from the UK. I suffer from health anxiety so this forum seems like a great place to get some reassurance and also to get some questions answered.
6-7 Months ago I had a filling on 2 teeth at the front of my mouth, I don't know the names of all the teeth but I did a google and the teeth I had fillings on were Central incisor and Lateral incisor.
I needed quite a big filling, to cut a long story short they were all filled and looked decent, however after I got the filling done, the teeth became extremley sensitive and I had trouble drinking anything cold. When I drank cold stuff, I'd get a really sharp pain in the tooth.
Yesterday, out of the blue, the lateral incisor tooth which has a filling has really started hurting, on and off for about 5 mins of intense pain each time.
This morning, the tooth feels really strange now, when I bight on it gentle it gives quite a strange sensation that I can't really describe.
Could it be that I might have nocked the filling slightly? When I had it done my dentist did say I might need root canal on it sometime.
I really want to avoid more treatment because I have panic attacks everytime I'm at the dentist.
The first time I had dental work done to have a tooth extracted 2-3 years ago I had a huge panic attack. It was right after my dentist numbed me with anestetic, I started to go all shakey and my heart rate was really fast, I also felt really dizzy. My dentist was really nice and she said it was probabaly the adrenaline in the needle, she said for my next visits she wouldn't include adrenaline and the next times I had treatment I was pretty calm and I didn't get the panicy episodes again.
Sorry for the long post and I hope I haven't confused you to much.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
