Toothache worry?!
Question:
Toothache worry?
I have had toothache on my left side for 1/12 years, ive had 1 tooth taken out, 1 root treatment, been to facial clinic, had all the teeth fillings, after 1 1/2 years its finally calming down (dental hospital told me that it was due to the tooth being extracted, there was a "phantom" pain. But now on my right side (i had a deep filling done in 4 months ago) round that tooth it is red and sore to touch the gums, there is a tiny white dot next to the tooth and it is very sore. i have had anti biotics which have not worked. i am far too embarrassed to go back to the dentist because he will think i am a hypocondriact, only have we sorted the left wide after 1 1/2 years, the right has started up! what will i do???
Answers:
Go to the dentist, I'm sure he won't think you're a hypochondriac. He will have seen plenty of people with problems with different teeth in quick succession before now. And at the end of the day your teeth are far more important than what he thinks - take that advice from someone who didn't act fast enough with dental problems and really regretted it afterwards!
