Scared about the dentist?!


Question: Scared about the dentist!?
I have a back tooth on the bottom that has turned a brownish color around it near the gum line and it hurts!. I went to urgent care last week and they gave me antibiotics!. I have an appointment this afternoon with a new dentist and the receptionist said all the could do was take me in on an emergency visit for the pain today---so what does that mean!? That all they are going to do is give me pain pills or are they going to try and fix the tooth!? I know you all are not mind readers either, but I'm not really familiar with how dentists do things as all I usually do is get a once a year cleaning!. Any clue!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
an emergency visit means they were probably booked and since you are in pain they are gonna work you in!. It has nothing to do with if they can fix the tooth or not!. The dentist will have to look at it to see first!. Hope this helps and you have a good visit :)
They gave you antibiotics b/c it was infected and probably wanted the swelling to go down before you made an appt!. with your regular dentist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

maybe you gums are really inflamed seriously so you need pain reliever first!. maybe you have a gum disease like gingivitis!. they might have to fix your gums first before them work on that tooth!.
the tooth might have a cavity, which since its brown, could be starting to rot or something!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
