Indecisiveness and Anxiety

[citrustwist]

I currently have a molar that had a root canal treatment twice and my gut feeling just tells me it's not right sitting in my mouth. I have another molar with a filling redone after the tooth broke off after an old first filling, which also never settled and cannot chew on without pain even after filing down twice in case of a high bite.

Does anyone else struggle with making decisions about their teeth? I've been unable to eat for around two or three years because I couldn't get myself to go back to the dentist to sort these teeth out. Right now I honestly just want to extract both of them, as I do not want to attempt another root canal on the filling tooth after getting one done twice and it failing(?). But I keep hesitating because pulling teeth feels so extreme and final. I just dont want to make a decision that i'll regret.

I also keep fearing that the dentist will refuse to pull my teeth, because there's still other options and I'm still young. Whatever comes after also scares me, like implants or shifting causing problems.

Can anyone empathize with me? I've been wasting my life for years because of my teeth and my anxiety and indecisiveness about them.
