Missing tooth part...help?

[RaptorZX3]

today i noticed, while eating, that a part of a molar is missing. it's the biggest molar on the lower left, right before where my wisdom tooth was. The dentist wanted to take it out initially about 2 years ago because the cavity was important and near the nerve, but i convinced him to repair it instead...

Now there's a part of the enamel missing i think, and i can see something white underneath, i think it's called the dentin...it's kinda on the external side, meaning i can't feel this when i lick on the inside around my teeth.

Now...i'm not a rich person and i don't have a steady job, so no good insurance apart of social aid insurance which cover fillings(repairs i guess), extraction and denture...

Since this tooth had big filling before, do you think he will most likely tell me it's better to take this tooth out instead?

I really didn't need that kind of thing this week, no one around can help me, comfort me and being here for me, it really suck...

Do you think the dentist can still fix this missing part, at least for the months to come? hoping i can get an appointment as fast as possible...also, i've read that when it can be fixed, there is no numbing needed, which is good at least...if mine can be fixed still (not like before all those proceedures when i lost the filling, i didn't even go to see the dentist right away, and those tooth are gone now)

I need an answer as soon as possible please. thank you...

also another question...when you have a deep filling replaced on that tooth, with all the drillings and such (they had to lower my gum because of the chipped tooth part to be able to put in the filling there), is it possible that it may take longer for the tooth to settle down sensitivity-wise?

Because sometimes i experience some pain during sleep, but it seem to be alright during the day strangely. I think i just have to try to calm down and be less stressed about it...and maybe just taking Advil or Aleve before a light meal and sleep...

I need some advices please, i'm someone who can get anxious at times, i need some tips about this. thank you very much.

It really depends on what kind of damage there is, if they can repair it or not. And then financially if you can afford to or want to do the repairs.

Try to see a adentist soon!

i did see a dentist and it's repaired. The dentist also told me it may take a while for the sensitivity to settle down.

During the time it wasn't repaired, i noticed something white inside. I asked the dentist and she said it's the "base" they put in, and they won't touch this part, only the filling part. As she said the dentin part is yellow, not white.

but yes...hopefully it settle down soon...
