So I (having horrible insurance as a kid-therefore having horrible dentists as a kid) and terrified of the dentist. I have a cavity on my back molar and am going to the dentist tomorrow for a consultation (sp?) and them making an appt. for next Friday.
But I'm now worried I might need a root canal. Before, my tooth only hurt if a piece of salt or sugar etc got stuck...and that was it. This morning I was eating an omlet with peper on it and bit down on a small thing of pepper and it's been bothering me all day ever since. If I touch the top of my tooth with my finger it hurts. Drinking water hurts. Brushing the tooth even hurts!
I had a bad anxiety attack today just thinking about it. Anyone have any history with root canals? Or dentists out there that may be able to put my mind at ease?!
I know it seems silly, but it's my honest and truthful fear. The kind that hits in the bottom of your stomach, and I'm freaking out about it. :cry3:
