Hello everyone.
I wondered if anyone had any reassuring words.
I will try to keep it short, during lockdown I had a very bad experience with a problem tooth that required emergency root canal. Unfortunately I have extremely long roots and despite another attempt since the dentists have not been able to get to the bottom of the root. They referred me to a private specialist dentist but at a cost of £1200 including the crown I couldn’t justify it (the pain had subsided). Especially
given there was no guarantee it would work anyway. I was told it would flare up again at some point.
As of yesterday I can feel the tooth niggling and I am absolutely petrified. Im
scared of the pain I was in returning. Im
scared of any work I may have to come (this experience has been horrible for various reasons).
I think I just need to get it extracted. I am worried however of the impact of losing my back molar (I have already had wisdom teeth out many years ago). I keep reading that this will create more problems with other teeth.
Has anyone had a back molar removal and not had any problems with the rest of their teeth?
I’m also so scared the extraction will be difficult because of my long roots.
I never used to have a problem with dentistry but the past couple of years have left me terrified.
