Dear whomever may read this,
Please forgive me if this post is long, I apologise on advance.
I am a 26 year old female. Recently, a pain started in my upper tooth area the one just before the wisdom tooth.
I went to my dentist and she said that I need a root canal. She done the first part of it and after that said I need to come in for 9 more sessions.
I thought that is not right and went to a private dentist first time in my life, that too twice out of pain. I was advised that root canal can be done but cost is £800 for it and then another 800 for a crown to seal it. I don’t have that much money.
He gave me antibiotics twice. I was also on paracetamol and nurofen constantly although I’m not supposed to have nurofen as I have IBS but my pain was that bad.
I couldn’t take it anymore and my friends told me better to get it taken out. So I did at a dental hospital.
However, I realised, I am always in pain everyday due to my teeth and I can’t even pinpoint the exact teeth sometimes. But all this had lead to the most excruciating headaches. Headaches which I have every day. It has worsened my depression so much as I do not know why there is pain always and why I have constant headaches.
Please can someone advice me what to do? I am so terrified.
Kind regards to all
