I psyched myself up to register with a new dentist after not going for 2 years following a crap experience with a root canal that put me off ever going to the dentist again. But I went and the new dentist was so understanding and gentle and really reassured me about going back.
I’ve got to have quite a deep filling/possible root canal on one of my upper molars next week and I’m terrified about the appointment. I’m very close to cancelling it because I really hate going and it’s not causing too much pain at the moment.
But I also think I’ve got a problem with the tooth that had the previous RTC as it’s been causing a lot of pain, as has one of my lower wisdom teeth - the pain has been so bad it’s keeping me up at night, even when taking sleeping tablets and regular pain meds.
Can I just ask the dentist next week or should I try get an appointment this week? I hate feeling like I’m wasting peoples time. But I’m also terrified that they’re going to say both of the teeth causing pain need to come out because that is my biggest dental related fear.
