Do I need my tooth pulled?
My molar on my left & right side had horrible cavities when I was younger. So my Grandmother & aunt had them filled. But for some reason they weren't good enough and I remember when I was in 3rd grade I ate a piece of that really hard, store bought popcorn and it pushed up my filling on my left side and I couldn't eat on it for years (I still won't eat on that side because of the pain). Now a few years ago, I guess it just deteriorated on my right side because there is a big black cavity on my right & left side. Also about in the middle of sixth grade (about 2 years ago.) some of my adult started growing in my my left side on the bottom. Now my baby teeth are stuck and literally falling apart. (there is two.) Anyways, the new teeth are pushing them away, but they just won't fall out. I've tried wiggling them but they hurt to much when I touch them. I would say a few months ago, a part of one of those teeth fell apart and fell out. They don't have cavities but I think they have acid erosion. Anyways, recently about a week ago, my left side of my mouth had been causing me major pain. It's sometimes like I can feel my heart throbbing in my tooth it hurts. I would say I think Tuesday, I was crying my eyes out and I fell down on the floor and I was spitting in the sink it hurt so bad. My aunt has been giving me percocets for the pain. She's afraid to give them to me, but I absolutely need them. The pain inturrupts my life and causes me to not be able to do things I need or want to do. Like when it hurts to much, I can't and won't even talk it hurts so much. And I spent the night at a friends house last night, but I had to leave early the pain was too much. I went to the dentist a few years ago and they said I would need a root canal. But thing is, A root canal isn't going to do anything. I WANT THAT BITCH PULLED OUT. It hurts way too much. And also I would probably need my right molar pulled out and also those two bottom teeth that won't come out. But I don't have insurance what so ever, so I'm not sure if I can keep living on percocets until I do because I don't have the money. Which would be cheaper, and less painful, and better for me in the longrun? A root canal or just get it pulled? Or is there something I might be able to do? Help!
