Hi, sorry, me again ?
I went to the dentist back in September as I had huge anxieties about my teeth. My dentist is lovely and tries to reassure but my anxiety is just out of control. I specifically wanted her to check my root canal tooth as little tooth has chipped off - she said if needed eventually she can patch it up but basically said that the dentist who did the root canal left the tooth too thin so it's not possible to crown it. Meaning eventually I will lose that tooth I guess. So my anxiety is absolutely sky high based on that alone.
Anyway, she checked my front teeth as a little enamel chipped behind and said they look fine, very possible that there is some very early decay but nothing to worry about. I had anxiety because I think they look bad. She said its staining and possibly early decay but really nothing to worry about.
However, because I'm obsessed I can't stop poking, prodding and looking (and obsessively photographing!), I have looked again today and I'm sure they look much worse. I'm petrified of losing my teeth.
I am attaching a photo as whilst I am absolutely mortified, I need reassurance. Do I need to call the dentist next week and get urgent care?? Do they look fine? I'm besides myself with worry at the moment. The large filled one is the root canal one which they have said is too thin to crown - I wonder if to get a second opinion privately on that? I have seen people say they have had a post and crown put on when teeth break to practically nothing, I dont see why there is absolutely nothing that can be done for me, surely there must be something ?
Apologies for the awful, awful photos. I am absolutely mortified and will delete the pics afterwards.
