Ok,
I have panic attack disorder and even thinking about going to the dentist scares the crap out of me.
I think I might have something wrong with one of my back teeth.It is a bit discolored and has been hurting for a while.Now I am scared I might have to get a dang root canal.It has been discolored for a while but didn't hurt up until a few weeks ago.
It is a tooth that has been filled before.
I am going to make an appointment soon but wanted to see what I was going to get myself into.
First of all, can a dental filling make a tooth discolored? Or has my luck struck a bad nerve...
Is any nausea involved with dental root canals/crowning? Nausea triggers my panic.
I think I just might ask them to take the tooth out.
Is a root canal or extraction worse?(pain/time wise)
The pain is minimal, it comes and goes and is not bad enough to take over the counter meds (I have a very low pain tolerance) and the tooth is not sensitive to hot/cold beverages/food.
Hope this helps.
Sorry for all the questions, as you can see I am quit nervous!!
