So I chipped my 2nd to back bottom tooth 2years ago. I went through the process of having a white filling, which was done wrong, so I’ve been having temporary fillings which have been ok up until now. The dentist are now saying I need a root canal. But my issues are:
1. Even when having the max amount of anaesthetic injected into the gums around the tooth, I just don’t get numb. I feel absolutely everything.
2. I’m in my first trimester of pregnancy so limited on pain relief and what can actually be done.
3. They want to charge me privately for root canal which is over £1500
4. Can I be referred to be sedated privately and just have the tooth out?
At my wits end with it all, not slept for 3 days straight and the pain and swelling is unbearable.
Thanks in advance.
