I am terrified of the dentist and I need two crowns and one filling replacement for cracks

[Moonchilde]

I am terrified of going to the dentist and being in pain. I don't know why I have this fear as I've had a lot of dental work in my lifetime. Only once was I in pain when the dentist drilled my tooth. But now I need two crowns on teeth that are not going to be getting root canals first, and a huge filling replacement with cutting out cracks. I've never had any of this done before. So, I am afraid that it is going to cause me pain- if not during then after- because the dentist said if the teeth are still sensitive after, then they will need root canal. I am so scared I cannot think of anything else, I have a hard time going to sleep at night and I feel like electricity is coursing through my body.

I'm sorry you're feeling like this. I need a crown and possible filling replacement or something else. I've currently got horrible toothache so I'm sorry if my reply isn't well formatted or I spell things wrong.

I always ask for the pain relief without adrenaline to keep me calmer, I think with a crown it is only two appointments and if you go to a dentists that has a 3d printer and scanner it's a much more comfortable and faster procedure these days, tbh a crown is kind of similar to a filling if they use the 3d scanner instead of the mold.

I haven't got my crown booked in yet as I need to focus on this painful filling first. But keep me updated on how you're getting on. Try not to Google too much about it, and do things to distract as much as you can, also maybe try meditation or some calming music at night it helps me a little to focus less on the future worry.
