Broken tooth or Sinus pain?!


Question: Broken tooth or Sinus pain!?
I'm leaving town Saturday for a week's vacation!.

I noticed my cheek hurt!. I thought for sure it was sinus pain since I've had a lot of that!. But, I felt in the back where it hurts and it seems like MAYBE part of my tooth has maybe broken off!.

I'm not sure since the tooth that was behind it has been pulled!. Also some of the pain I have is away from the "hole or crack" and behind the tooth (where another tooth use to be a few years ago)!.

I'm leaving town on Saturday!. IF the tooth is broken will my dentist be able to fix it!? Say if I need a crown!?

Also I HATE the dentist!. I swear I'd rather give birth again than go to the dentist!. I get so scared and nervous I am PHYSICALLY SICK TO MY STOMACH about it!.

I'm most likely going to call and see if he can check it out!. Any ideas!? What will he do!? (gulp) Can it be fixed before Saturday!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Hi, I'm a dentist!.

There is really no way to answer your question without doing an exam!. You don't want to hear it, but you just need to get in to see your dentist!.

You know, there are prescription meds that you can take to relieve your anxiety!. You take a pill when you get to the dentist and you're feeling good, then two hours later the effects wear off and you drive yourself home!. I'd recommend you request a drug called Versed (pronounced ver-SAID)!.

Go get yourself checked out!. The longer you delay dental treatment, the more costly and the longer it will take to fix the problem created by the procrastination!.

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
