Two teeth.
Lets talk about the right premolar.
Okay. So when I floss I can feel there's a hole in between my teeth so not wanting to wait till it's worse, I decided to visit Dr mellissa.
(Previously a year ago I did a filling with Dr Hc Leong dental. He said it was super close to root canal but he managed to do a filling for me. He told me not to redo the filling. If take out, it's a 100% root canal. I should have trusted him.)
But because I know there's still decay despite the filling I went to visit Dr mellissa.
She removed the previous filling and took a photo and showed me that the nerve is exposed and there's still some decay underneath and thus I need a root canal. The nerve is still alive.
I didn't want to do a root canal. I was scared and sad. She placed a temporary filling and said it would last around 6 weeks. Temporary filling with a really ugly color and shape....... really should have left it like that since it wasn't causing pain. But on the other hand, if I were to wait until it's painful, probably not wise either.
Dr mellissa also did a tooth filling for me today beside my super risky tooth. I haven't floss it nor brush it yet. This is a rather quick post I'm making today. So right now I've no comments on this simple filling done. If I have I will comment again.
Any advice regarding "exposed nerve but no pain, do I need root canal, can I do pulp cap" is deeply appreciated.
I love my nerve. :(
