Hi guys, just looking to vent a little. I feel like I'm back to square one again, where I went over 17 years without seeing a dentist.
I'd been ok,going to checkups etc, then pre COVID had a filling, first filling since my mass fillings which was all under sedation about 10 years ago(prier to that,17 years without seeing a dentist) filling was ok, but the local anisthetic jabs were really painfull, to the point I turned down the 3rd jab and got on with it...
Then covid...
2 years not seeing a dentist,with that experience lingering on my mind.
January/February time this year, I had alfull toothache (posted on here about it), saw a dentist, couldn't see anything wrong, lots of x-rays etc... The worst Was over by the time I got an appointment,so we left it, but was told if it continues to give me hassle, it would be RCT or extraction... For a tooth with nothing wrong...
Oh,he did find a chip on another tooth which he filled, with the knowledge that if it came out, it may need a crown
Filling lasted 10 days, and tooth is still hurting 3 months later, and I just cant bring myself to make to he call... No way, no how...
Such a huge step back...
I don't know if it's because I know what may be involved? The lack of faith?
Argh, driving me crazy
