Hi everyone!
So I am definitely embarrassed to say that I have not been to the dentist in about 20 years. I was always the type of person who figured that as long I was cleaning my teeth at home that I did not need to go to one. Yikes!
So about a year ago, I had one of my back teeth crack off, but I still never have felt any pain, so I decided I didn't need to go and just started chewing on the opposite side. Now that tooth is loose...Jesus, deliver me.
Also, about a month ago, I was eating a piece of Laffy Taffy, and the candy caused a split down the middle of a back tooth on the opposite side! Now I realize I definitely need to get things taken care of.
I called a dentist yesterday to make an appointment for Monday. I do not have any pain at all with either tooth, but I am so scared that they are going to have the remove the teeth and implant new ones or put crowns on the teeth. What type of pain can I expect after? How long will I be in pain? Will the teeth feel always feel strange?
I just need some comfort please from those of you who have been in my position!
