Afraid of the dentist?
I know I have to go to the dentist again but I'm scared. One of my molars has a visible cavity and there is a big hole on one of my front teeth. I think the enamal on one of my other molars is gone because it is rough when i touch it and not smooth like my other teeth. I'm so afraid of the dentist I dont know what to do
Answer:
Oh no! You have to go to the dentist. I know you are scared - nobody really likes going to the dentist but he is there to help you not lose your teeth! If you let your visible cavity (if visible to you, then it is very far along) go further, you will end up needing a root canal and then pain that leads up to getting a root canal is extremely severe - it is worse than going to the dentist now. You don't want to suffer that kind of pain!!
How can you get help so that you brush your teeth 2-3 times a day? If you don't take care of your teeth and hygiene, you will probably end up losing all your teeth eventually!
I can completely understand your situation. I had always hated the dentist and was actually scared because of something I went through with one at the age of 12. I never saw one again until recently. I ended up having to have a root canal about five weeks ago and I still have three cavities. I hadn't seen one in ten years. I'm 22 now.
I ended up going because I starting having excruciating pain on one of my molars. The pain was immense, I have been stabbed, I have broken bones, this pain was beyond that. I felt like I was dying. I ended up going to the dentist as an emergency patient and ended up getting a root canal. I ended up having a really bad infection and even after the root canal I was still in a lot of pain after the procedure for about two days. The pain then wore off and I am perfectly fine. Just yesterday, I received my permanent crown.
Don't let this happen to you, don't wait until the last minute or you'll have to go through that. Another reason I never stepped foot in a dentists office was because I had no insurance and almost make no income. If you have the money, you should do it ASAP.
I remember walking in there a few weeks ago, I was literally shaking. The dentist ended up being so nice, he calmed me down and fixing the problem. I still don't enjoy dentist visits but I know I need things done so I suck it up and go. I also realized dentists are extremely expensive.
I would really recommend trying to overcome this fear, don't wait like me and end up going when you feel like you're dying because of a tooth pain. Do not wait until the last minute. Go before any of that happens. Also, keep in mind your teeth are connected to a lot of nerves in your face. You could also lose your eyesight or other things.
I hope this information helped.
well you should regularly brush and floss your teeth as fillings can only replace the lost tooth stucture but proper cleanliness has to be maintained for maintaining teeth in there good health, if you can clearly find that there is a cavity in one of your tooth than you should get it filled by the dentist as soon as possilble as the infection will keep on seeping deeper and deeper , which may require root canal treatment which will cost you more not only in money but health aswell and if you delay this stage than there may be extraction required and you will loose one tooth. There is nothing to be worried about as dentist is going to treat for your benefit .
Go even if you have to go to a dentist htat caters to chickens "yes they are out there and they usualy put you to sleep"You do not want to lose your teeth.
