Nerve damage on a tooth what should I do?
Here is the deal. I live in one city but go to school in another so getting to my dentist is hard.
I had a cavity filled about a year ago on a molar. It was almost a root canal. I have very weak teeth enamel and get cavities all the time. It is a real pain.
It has felt weird ever since. The dentist says it is probably nerve damage and will go away with time.
However it is getting worse. Can not chew, swallow, spit or anything with out some sort of pain or discomfort. (please be mature guys)
What should I do? Again I am in a different city then where I live and do not have a dentist here. I am to the point where I can not do much on that side of my mouth. I wont be going home until Thanksgiving. Is there anything I can do till then?
FYI I am a freak about brushing my teeth and flossing them. Just so everyone knows.
Why in UK the dentist doesn't like to treat the children's teeth?
During my child's life i took her to the dentist 4 times, in 3 different city in UK and only once a dentist cared to clean her teeth of tartar or plaque.
All plaque and tartar is harmful to the teeth as it promotes tooth decay as it eats away at the enamel on the teeth, than WHY don't they bother to remove them?
My child's teeth are healthy, but as with anyone else, occasionally plaque happens and i have to take them off myself because the dentist just look at them and ignore them, but i can't do a good job because I don't have their facilities and experience and training.
Next time we visited the only dentist that cleaned her teeth, he was not longer working in there, instead a lazy dentist that even though he was seeing the plaque with the help of light and even pointed to them, just said her teeth were fine...
Please help, what is going on?
