Teeth questions :o(?
I had to see an emergency dentist yesterday cos I had toothache, it was my back bottom tooth and it had a really bad cavity in it. The dentist drilled it a lot and put in a filling, but he said I might need a root canal and that I will definitely need a crown on my tooth.
How will I know if it needs a root canal or not? And what's a crown? I'm only 16, is it normal to need stuff like this at my age?
He said I have a lot of other cavities that need fixed as well :o( but I've got an appointment with a regular dentist in 6 weeks time. Will it be alright to leave the cavities for another 6 weeks before they get fixed or will they get worse? I'm scared they end up hurting like this other tooth did. And if I need a lot of fillings done, can they put me to sleep before they do them? I really don't like going to the dentist and he says I need a LOT of work done on my teeth, I'm really scared now :o(

Root canals are not fun... that's gonna be the hard part. As for the other cavatityies. just make sure to take care of you teeth until said time comes. As for the fillings my wife had hers put in and went back to work right afterwards. Don't worry to much. One tooth at a time and just mae sure to stay away from sweets. G'luck

Leaving the cavities for 6 weeks means they will get worse. Your dentist may put you to sleep, or give you nitrous oxide (laughing gas), novacaine, etc, to make you comfortable. Discuss your options with your dentist.
