So I just want to say my whole story if anyone has advice.
I went to a new dentist recently and she was very rough(not like my old dentist) and I think she messed up on one of my fillings and afterwards it was very sensitive to extreme temperatures but I thought it was just a side effect of the filling so I didn't worry about it. A few days before X-mas I decided that I was going to brush my teeth at least once a day(I previously didn't brush them very often at all, maybe once a week) so about 4 days in I noticed the tooth that was sensitive to cold started to hurt with pressure and I got nervous so I told my mom about it and asked her to get a dentist appointment but it was holidays and NO dentist was open to see me anywhere until the next Monday so I decided not to brush as often and be very gentle on my teeth. Then my tooth started to throb and it was so painful every time I laid my head down or touched it, it ached terribly. So I started to take painkillers (Ibuprofen and Tramadol) as often as I could to stop the pain and started trying a few remedies for tooth aches like rinsing my mouth with warm salt water and putting a warm cotton ball with salt and baking powder up on the gum and it helped a little. On X-mas eve the tooth was no longer sensitive to hot or cold and I was a little relieved but then read that this may mean my tooth's nerves are dead!! My mom started to give my antibiotics (Amoxicillin I think) and it felt like the pain was clearing up after those its still a little sensitive to touch but not even painful. From what I've read I think its only a matter of time until I have a root canal done and I've heard that these are extremely dangerous in the future because they can infect your body and cause all sorts of problems in your body its my left front tooth on the top so I don't know if I should have it pulled or have a root canal treatment.
I'm so nervous about this I almost felt like I was going to throw up
Does anyone think something else is the cause of this? Can anyone with experience explain the dangers or the good things about root canals? My tooth doesn't hurt right now but I'm sure if it is left it will destroy the underlying bone and I don't think I can take any surgery like that. The wait is killing me until Monday I have no idea what will happen and I'm so terrified of the root canal because of the stuff holistic dentist say the root canal treatment can do to your body afterwards.
I also read up on a treatment called Padma Basic, it was worth looking into although I don't know if it can help me. Does anyone know anything about this herbal treatment?
