Pain in the Tooth!

Since yesterday a tooth of mine has been screaming at me. Especially cold is bothering it. It is really annoying me now because it isn't going away. I just got approved for medi-cal but I don't know if they support dentists or not. I hate dentists too. Not the people, just the working in my mouth, thing. I hope this tooth stops so I don't have to go to a dentist. Do you like dentists?

I don't mind dentists. Fortunately, I seem to have good teeth, so other than going to the dentists twice a year for a cleaning, I really haven't had to go for any other reason. I did get my wisdom teeth out about 8 years ago, that was pretty aggravating, but other than that it has been smooth sailing as far as my teeth are concerned.

That's not too bad. Once or twice a year is bearable I suppose.

@jhechorain Well, that's assuming that you take good care of your teeth. If not, those twice a year cleanings can be somewhat unbearable. Make sure you floss each day! haha

Dentist's usually mean pain and no I don't like dentists, but sadly they are a necessary evil.

I don't like being numb either. I would prefer the numb though to the pain I think.

I grind my teeth really bad when I sleep and so they were very sensitive when I was young and I had to use sensidyn toothpaste. Do you think you have a cavity is what is causing the pain? I hope your insurance will cover the dental cleaning and exam!

Yeah, the tooth has been worked on before. I'm pretty sure the filling is no longer good or working or something. I will most likely have to go in eventually. I just don't like having my teeth worked on.

@jhechorain I hate having my teeth worked on as well I think that is pretty normal.
