Hi everyone,
New member here. I am a super anxious dental patient who recently had a super scary experience at the dentist for a root canal retreatment. I’m in my late thirties and haven’t taken care of my teeth as I should have so I don’t really have a set dentist. I recently completed my root canal retreatment by an Endo at a dental practice. The tooth is very small and I only have about 20 percent tooth structure left so it’s basically all filling but it’s done thankfully. The experience was very rushed and painful. The dental injections were shoved in so quickly without any topical like 5 times so I’m really traumatized at this point. I also had to wait in the waiting area for 40 minutes shaking to get the rest of the root canal filled by the dentist. I mean they were nice to me but it was traumatizing. I’ve cancelled two appointments there to start crown prep cause I’m so terrified. I can’t even walk in. I have a consult with a dentist who does same day Cerec crowns on Monday who kindly offers inhaled sedation. My question is, is it risky to switch dentists to get a crown put on? I feel bad about switching and am anxious that something can go wrong as it’s a different practice all together.
