Hello, one of my molars on the left side of my mouth has a big hole in it. My gum is exposed and I only eat on the right side because of my situation with the left. I am very afraid of the denist because of past experiences; what will they do when I do decide to go? Will they give me gas to put me to sleep?Thank you,Kind Regards
Hello, A direct clinical as well as radiological examination of the decayed tooth has to be done to plan the treatment. If the decay is grossly affected, tooth has to be extracted. Orelse root canal treatment or pulp capping has to be done. All these procedures are undergone after administration of local anesthetic solution. No need to be panic. Take complete course of antibiotics-analgesics. Hope this helps.
