We were talking for a few minutes when the shot wore off. He decided to do something with my gums and did the shots. He told me I had a thing in my gums and a cracked molar which couldn't be fixed because the crack was verticle and on the bottom of the molar. I wasn't sure what to do so I decided to pay cash for a local dentist. I spent the weekend living off milkshakes and smoothies. It also started mildly aching when I ate. Hubs was also in horrible pain and was not prescribed pain meds.īack to me, my gum pain continued. Like many of you, I get nightmares with just the thought of being in the chair for 3 hours. The dentist decided the tooth needed to be extracted and he was in the back for three hours. However he decided he needed a dentist urgently and found one a half hour away. The same night it started my husband complained about his tooth hurting (yes ladies, he falls quite ill with the man flu a lot). Needless to say, my trust issues with that dentist were lost so I did what most people with dental anxiety do and skipped my next appointment.Ī few weeks ago the right side of my mouth started hurting when I brushed my teeth. After 2 months (and lots of sensodine), the pain finally diminished and I only had the mild nerve pain that started after the extraction. I continued having pain in that tooth and had to go back 2 other times to get my bite adjusted. I called the next day and they had me come back (2 hours round trip) to adjust my bite. I got home and realized I couldn't even close my mouth on that side. Last June, he decided to replace the entire filling. The dentist would fix it without local several times. My 1st molar that had the deep cavity kept chipping. He prescribed valium for awhile before appointments but it didn't work whatsoever so I told him I didn't need it at that point (why take a pill that doesn't work). The closest in network dentist was an hour from me. I had dental insurance at that point so decided to woman up and start seeing a dentist for preventive care. The pain never went away but I stopped chewing on that side for the most part so it was manageable. He gave me some gel in a tube and said it would fix it. I went back (10 days post extraction) and he said he didn't know what was wrong but maybe dry socket. Dentist prescribed an antibiotic over the phone which didn't work. A few days after the extraction I started getting nerve pain in that side of my face. I felt pain but to be honest, I didn't care at all (thanks to the nitrous). They pulled it using nitrous and gave me 8 rounds of local.
I was in agony and that started my fear of going to the dentist.Ī few years after that I was munching on doritos when my 1st molar just broke.
Same deal, pain came back within minutes and he told me I had more than enough local for a woman (exact quote). A few minutes later I started feeling significant pain so I raised my hand. I went to the dentist in our town to get it taken care of. Several years ago (maybe 8?) I had a bad toothache in my 2nd molar on my left side. I had no major issues with the dentist until I was an adult (although I stopped going for years). My story is long and probably boring but I feel like it needs some background info. I need to apologize if my post sounds crazy, I feel like I'm legitimately losing my mind.
