Upper left molar extraction and pain in root canal tooth number 31. Terrified
Hi everyone,
This is my first post here.
Ok... from the beginning: I finally went to the dentist after being to terrified to go for over ten years. My last appointment over 10 years ago was for a root canal in my lower right tooth (number 31).
I was forced to go in the end as my upper left molar (2nd from back) had developed a hole / chip and was starting to hurt. I am now booked in for a tooth extraction and I am completely petrified. Have any of you had this? I have been advised that I will be ok to just have it extracted and no further treatment will be required. Do you think this will affect the surrounding teeth in the future? I'm also worried it will hurt to have out I've also heard some horror stories about these extractions going wrong and people being in pain for years afterwards, with sinus problems etc
My 2nd problem is that the root canal tooth on the lower right (tooth 31) is now really starting to hurt. Is it complicated to have a root canal tooth extracted? Will I miss this tooth? I'm quite worried that if I have this extracted the procedure will be horrible and a missing tooth in this area will cause problems.
I know this post may seem a little silly but I am really terrified and feel sick thinking about it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
