Well I managed to make it to the new dentist. I refused a panoramic x-ray but they were able to get the others while I was semi sedated. I even managed to have my teeth cleaned and a few cavities filled. I have had issues with a crown that hits before my other teeth do. I have had issues with it for a while now. I was told the root canal was not done well by my old dentist. My husband was told this new office could re-do it and fix the crown. My husband just called and upset me very much. He spoke to the dentist I have been using. Another dentist in that office wants me to see some other dentist that specializes in open bites. My teeth do not hit on the right side due to the crown hitting first on the left side. THe crown is on my upper molar on my left side. I showed the dental assistant the crown hit before any of my other teeth. Why would they tell my husband she could re-do the root canal and fix the crown so it is better..............then in the next day she is talking to another dentist and he wants me to see a special dentist. My husband said I can tell you right now she will not go. I won't either. I looked up open bites (which I never had before the crown and my teeth were taken out five total a few years ago) and their 'solution' is surgery and orthodontics. I refuse to go through jaw surgery and I cannot afford braces. I feel like a freak right now that cannot be helped. I in no way will go to that special dentist. I forgot the name. Why can't they just fix the crown for me and re-do the root canal. My guess is it would help. I do not feel like I can walk into that office again after this. I was thinking of trying someone else to see if they would be willing to fix the crown for me. I should have left the tooth alone after I broke part of it. It never hurt until I had the botched root canal and crown put on. Now I have years of issues. All I am doing is crying. If my husband says one more time don't cry I think I will scream. I took a prescription xanax and it is not even helping. Please do not laugh but I am just continually crying holding a teddy bear. I feel so defeated. I was told this is not a common thing (open bite) by my husband. Everything I read says reconstructing the jaw. NO THANKS!!! I just feel like a freak right now. LIke they are looking at me like my mouth is really bad. I do have TMJ and wear a night guard which now the crown hits before that does!! If anyone can offer some gentle support I would appreciate it. I thought I did so good going and boom I get hit with this. I feel so defeated and so upset. I do not know where to put myself. I have no one to talk to that would understand my very real fear. Thanks for listening to me.
