Hello everyone, I'm so glad to have found this board.
I'm having such ongoing dental problems and loads of fear associated with them.
Last week I had to have a root canal on a lower molar. I was petrified, as I have had continues problems getting numb, especially on lower teeth. Luckily, the endodontist managed to get me numb, and the nitrous that he gave me REALLY helped SO MUCH.
Just when I thought I was ok I started getting major pain on the opposite side of my mouth on my upper molars. So, back to the dentist I went today, but he saw nothing on the xray except for that there was a bit of a tiny dark area by one tooth. However, he checked my past records and the "dark" area has been there since 1997!!! Also, the dark area tooth is not the one that is really bugging me.
The one that is bugging me had a pulp cap done on it 13 years ago. This tooth seems to always act up if I have any kind of work done.
I'm so confused as to what to do now. The dentist said that if it gets worse to go back to the endodontist. Why would I be having trouble if there is no decay evident in the xray??????
I'm so confused...
