Hello, everyone. I have an incredibly intense fear of the dentist and I have my first appointment scheduled for this coming Tuesday after many years of missed appointments.
One of the reasons why I am going is because I have extreme sensitivity to sweets on one side of my mouth. The pain does linger for about 30 seconds or so before it goes away and it is very painful. I do not, however, have any sensitivity to hot or cold, and it is not painful at any other time. (Though I should mention that sometimes I get this pain from eating acidic foods.) Has anyone ever had this experience? Do you know what might cause a sensitivity to sweets but not to cold?
Also, do you think this could require root canal treatment? If so, how painful is the experience if there is no prior toothache? I have done extensive research online and I read so many conflicting accounts...some say that it is completely painless, and some say that it is the worst paint they have ever experienced. Can anyone give me a true and honest account?
Thank you so much for listening and for any advice/reassurance that you might give.
