Ok I am going for one root canal on Tuesday. They first filled that tooth but then it chipped a bit and they said it needs a root canal so they put in a temp filling and I go back Tuesday for the actual root canal.
The other root canal I need was diagnosed over a year ago and I waited because of nervousness and fear. I finally decided I had to get it dealt with so I am making a appointment. Im so scared though that because I have waited they will have to pull the tooth. its still sensitive to cold but I dont really have pain, but im nervous that I have a huge infection that I don't now about. Also on this tooth a little piece chipped off about 10 months ago, the dentist said just don't eat on that side and get the root canal done, obviously i did wait. Now its like my gum has grown over the tooth where it chipped, is this really bad? How can they even enter the tooth if theres gum in the way?
Any advice or answers?
Also, I hadn't got work done for years but I finally got 5 fillings filled over a couple months. But the root canals have me terrified because of the pain stories I have heard and my dental anxiety/fears.
