I had to go to the dentist this morning because suddenly the tooth that was occasionally painful got REALLY painful all the time last night and I was up all night with toothache.......it was horrible!!! The whole visit was a disaster!!!
Anyway, I went to the dentist and he did some x-rays and stuff and said that the decay was really deep in the tooth and he had to do a root canal :o( He put a temporary filling in the tooth but he says I have to go back in a couple of weeks for a permanent filling in it and I'll have to get a crown as well.
What's a crown? And why do I have to get one? It sounds expensive!!! He says I have cavities in 2 of my wisdom teeth as well, and he wants to pull them out instead of doing fillings - why is that? Can't I just get fillings in them? And to finish off, I need to get two fillings as well in other teeth!!!!! But he wants to put silver fillings in because he says they're better than white ones, is that true?
