Hello everyone,
Few days ago I have forced myself to finally go see a dentist about a spot that has appeared on my front tooth. I have realized there's no avoiding it cause of the obvious aesthetic reasons.
I informed the dentist about my severe anxiety and she was quite gentle with me. Turned out my gums were in horrible shape, I needed a deep cleaning and scaling done straight away (curettage). The doctor has assured me I will feel no pain.
A total of 12 injections were done. And most of the procedure was ok, not really painful, rather extremely uncomfortable. My whole body was shaking from stress, we had to stop around every 5mins cause I couldn't breathe (not sure why, may be my deviated septum was to blame) and still even with full anaesthesia a few teeth were really sensitive and painful.
I'm supposed to come back to finish my cleaning - do the polishing after a week (could not be done on the day due to excessive bleeding) and I'm terrified. Cause surely it will be done without anaesthesia and those sensitive teeth are troubling me. Will it be painful and what should I prepare for?
The teeth that are sensitive and painful even with full mounth anaesthesia (lower jaw) have fillings done, however the doctor said they need to be redone and that there are cavities again. I'm extremely scared of any kind of manipulations done with these teeth as I'm afraid the anaesthesia will not be sufficient again. The doctor has mentioned something about a neck nerve? I am now considering sedation treatment, will this be a good idea?
Sorry for such a long post, this week in between my two visits all I can think about is my dental issues. I can't even enjoy food anymore cause all I think about is all the teeth cleaning I need to do after. Hoping for some advice. Thanks and Happy New Year.
