So on December 15th I went in for a few fillings and for a crown prep. The fillings went fine, then he got all the decay out of the last molar on the bottom that needed the crown. As he went to shape the tooth he hit the nerve and I went through the roof, he said it needed a root canal. He added more stuff to numb it, but I felt a lot of the pain. It went on for 2 1/2 hours, and I can say one of the worst things I've ever been through.
It's been a few weeks, and I'm still wearing the temp crown (gotta love the holidays). Sometimes I still get some little pains in the area, so that's had me worried.
But now I'm also getting pain in between two of my teeth in the front on the bottom. I know I have more cavities that need filled. Just haven't had a chance to get in the chair again. He didn't seem to think any of my other teeth were in bad shape, besides the one that I had crowned. So I don't know why I'm getting pain now? Did it really go bad that fast? I'm scared to death to do another root canal. The thought leaves me in tears.
I have another spot that meat is getting stuck between the premolar and the first molar. Which leaves the gum painful when I floss it out. Like the gap between those teeth are too big. I don't know if that's another cavity?
I'm at the point where I'm only eating once a day. I'm scared to eat on any of these teeth. I'm traumatized from the first root canal and I know I need more work. My dentist has been closed most of the last two weeks because of the holidays. I'm calling them on Monday.
