As the title says...it's a few short days until my wedding and I'm looking for advice/ reassurance if possible.
I've had a catalogue of dental issues over the last few weeks- all of which I suspect are linked to stress grinding. I had one tooth extracted, but now a tooth on the other side has started to hurt 😢. I really don't want to be in pain on my wedding day.
The dentist has x-rayed and can't see anything obvious. The tooth is intact- no decay or previous filling.
She thinks it is a bruised ligament due to overuse while the other side of my mouth was healing. Also probably aggravated by night time grinding.
I am wearing a night guard. This tooth is so sore 😖 and gets progressively worse as the day goes on. Has anyone experienced a tooth ligament injury?
She really doesn't want to do a root canal, given that my symptoms might ease after the wedding (when my stress clenching reduces!).
I should probably mention that I am extremely anxious about dental pain (think phobic). 😟
Oh, and I take extremely good care of my teeth!
Thanks all.
