Greetings,
I went to the dentist yesterday, and it turns out I have a cavity in my upper molar. The doctor said I should come back next week, but the receptionist gave me an appointment for three weeks. I'm about 90% sure it will be painful until then, and I don't want it done at all, since it's already deep. What should I do? I don't want root canal treatment.

Loading...Hello, I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed under local anesthetic on Wednesday. Today is the fifth day after the surgery, and I'm still in a lot of pain and still need ibuprofen (600mg) three times a day. Today I went for a follow-up checkup, but everything was fine, with no signs of…
Hello everyone, I'm really scared that my teeth will shift. I had braces for about three years and got them out last September. I have a fixed retainer for both my upper and lower teeth. I even wear a removable retainer for the top and bottom at night. Around March or April, my orthodontist said…
Hey, I have a question. About six months ago I had my fixed braces removed. I had them worn for two years, but only because I interrupted the treatment because I was always in pain and couldn't eat very well with them. The problem now is that because they were taken out earlier, I now…
Hello. I had my wisdom tooth removed this morning…everything went well…not much bleeding 3 hours later I made myself a roll with cream cheese and a slice of cheese. Now I just happened to read that you shouldn't eat dairy products after having a tooth removed 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ What could happen now?
Hello, I got braces with a transpalatal arch yesterday. My problem is that I now speak strangely. It's almost like a lisp, since my tongue can't move fully when I speak. Will this go away? Or will it stay this way until I no longer have braces or a transpalatal arch.
Hello Dudepassauf,
caries do not occur in a week and after three weeks the tooth does not fall out;-)
The lady at the front desk must have an appointment in a week. She certainly didn’t want to bother you, but probably she just didn’t have an appointment free next week.
You’re not an emergency and have no pain.
As soon as you get pain, you’ll call and get it.
Good luck!

Call Monday and ask if there is an earlier appointment spontaneously (sometimes people say yes) but I don’t think so. If it were, you would have got it. Three weeks are still going.
Caries don’t get worse as fast as possible, 3 weeks are not a problem. Pain also does not come abruptly, but slowly develops out of hypersensitivity.
So if you have very slight pain, don’t you have to take root canal treatment?
Did the doctor say you need a root treatment? If he didn’t find anything, you shouldn’t have to.
In caries and/or pain, the caries are removed and a filling is placed. A root treatment needs only if the caries are very deep and the nerve is affected. And then, depending on the situation, tries to get there without root treatment.
I hope that will help you.
Thank you for the detailed answer!
Don’t worry, Nerv’s fine.
Imagine your tooth has a memory. He notices any caries and pain. If it’s not bad, he’ll forget it quickly. As in your case.
Worse things, strong and long-lasting pain, a very deep filling, if a big piece breaks off due to an accident etc. He doesn’t forget so easy and he can be sensitive for a long time. If this is too much, the nerve can ignite and die. Maybe, but it doesn’t have to happen.
Most of the time, you get that under control even if it takes longer.( With me it took almost a year to rest when filling.)
The ZA can put a drug under the filling, grind a few times or make the filling new when it is necessary and depending on the case there is more what you can do. A root treatment is all, all the last thing you do to get the tooth. If nothing else happens, all possibilities are exhausted or if other problems/disorders are the cause, only then a root treatment is made.
There really has to be a lot of things and you have to worry about it over a long period of time.
No, the doctor just told me to come by next week and also made me such a protective agent for caries. Looked like a splash. When is the nerve affected? If he hurts?
