Hi Everyone! I've got a cleaning scheduled for this weekend and it's my first one in nearly 8 years. I'm scared, scared of the pain and scared that I will have cavities.
I saw my dentist in November for some tooth pain and he checked all my left upper teeth and didn't find any cavities. He said I had a form of TMJ, which is painful. Other than that, he didn't say anything else, which makes me hope that I can get out of there without any cavities.
I don't have any tooth pain but I do have tooth pain. Due to the TMJ I keep feeling pain in my jaw that I can swear is tooth pain, but it keeps bouncing around so I'm pretty sure it's jaw vs tooth pain.
As far as brushing, I brush daily in the morning and in the last few months I have also started brushing in the evening as well and and flossing every once in a while. I think that the only reason that my teeth have held up so well thus far is that I only drink water, so it flushes my mouth out.
What are the chances I get out of the cleaning without any cavities?
At least for my appointment I'm getting nitrous to help me with my nerves.
