Here's some background info:
I am 23 and have been to the dentist 3 times- ever. Didn't have insurance until I was 15 and went then. Horrible experience. The last 2 visits were about 2 years ago and again, horrible experiences with lots of pain and being degraded by the dental staff. Luckily, my teeth were in good shape at the time and only needed a good cleaning, except for one molar that they said needed a root canal and crown. My answer was a big he** no!
Fast forward to now. The last couple of days, I've had a weird sore feeling behind my front bottom left tooth. I had x-rays taken at the oral surgeons a couple of weeks ago (getting wisdom teeth out thank to cracking one of them) and he said the rest of my teeth looked fine. What could be causing the dull pain/soreness? I've always had a problem with plaque build up behind these teeth. So bad that the plaque popped off a couple of years ago and I thought I had broken my tooth.
I am terrified of the dentist. If I could be put completely under for cleaning and any dental work, I'd have no problem with going. But alas, insurance wont pay for that for some idiotic reason.
