I'm 30 I have generalized anxiety disorder since i was 5. Back in march, I had a tooth that had a metal filling that had been cracked over 10 yrs start hurting extremely.
I went to the dentist who gave me a zpack which cleared up the infection, and i had a root canal. After the root canal, it stayed infected. They gave me another zpack which didnt work. I ended up in the e.r. with an iv of antibiotics. 3 days later i had the tooth removed.
For a couple of months i felt back to my old self. In July, i had another tooth on the same side that had a crack and filling in it chip off as well before it got worse. I headed to the dentist - he just drilled and crowned it. The pain that set in the first week i thought was normal. While that was going on, my wisdom tooth on the top left started in extreme pain. I had it removed and mentioned to the dentist that the crown he did was hurting too. He didn't seem like it was a big deal. When the pain got worse a week after i went back, he said it was inflamed - either root canal or pull. I decided on root canal. Again i told him i was scared it was gonna get infected. He gave me a zpack which i warned him stopped working on me the last time. He said it should work a week after. Another zpack later i wanted to pull my own tooth out. i called the dentist, he pulled the tooth.
A week after that, a top molar started feeling pain when i bit down. I went to 3 dentists, got a ct scan and everything. Finally, the 3rd dentist said the tooth was dead. After a month of pain he said root canal. I said no way i had the tooth pulled a week ago today the oral surgeon said nerve problem?? but when he pulled it he said the roots were inflamed.
Now i feel like the tooth next to it is having issues. I feel like I'm going insane. I've lost 5 teeth since march, two being wisdoms. I've been on alot of different antibiotics, constant pain on the right side of my face for over a month. My question is does anyone have any advice??
