Hi everyone,
I'm new here, I made an account specifcally to make this post. Forgive me if im posting this in the wrong section.
Let me start with a little backstory;
I'm a 25 years old male, and I have very very bad teeth.
My parents never really forced me to brush my teeth in my youth so I never realized the dangers (sepsis for example) of an infection spreading.
Right now, I am terrified of this happening. On top of my bad teeth and my bad brushing habbit, I also have dental fobia.
There is nothing in life I fear more than going to the dentist chair.
Becuase of my fear of dentists, I never went on regular check ups etc. I think the last time I was at a dentist was 4-5 years ago as I only went in when I really have pain.
I have a lot of broken teeth and my wisdom teeth came out and cracked the tooth that was next to in half.
My upper most right teeth, once had a root canal and a filling. Right now this is the tooth that is hurting.
The gum around the tooth is also swollen and white colourish. I assume it is an abscess. But I hope not.
Í hear you thinking, go to the dentist already. And I really want to but there doesn't seem to be any dentist willing/able to help me.
They don't even want to take a look, making me fear worse like sepsis.
The only thing the dentist did is write me a referal letter to see an oral surgeon in the hospital. The dentist can't take out the broken teeth he said as he feared breaking them off. So basically only an oral surgeon can help me. But the fact that no dentist wants to check me even if there is a risk of my infection spreading.
I recently started a job as a bus driver, about 4 months ago.
I didn't want to call in sick so I just went to work under the company of some ibuprofen (600mg).
The painkiller took away the pain for a few days but right now every few hours I get a sharp pain in my tooth that lasts for about 10 minutes and then I'm good for a few hours. This all while under painkillers.
Last night I got one moment where the pain got so unbearable where I had to park the bus at a busstop for 10 minutes waiting for the pain the go away.
The big question now is, I have an appointment with the surgeon in the week of 14 feb.
Is my tooth nerve dying or is the infection spreading? Can I last untill 14 feb?
I also tried other dentists btw but none of them have free time or is willing to help.
