I did a veneer on one of my smaller tooth per my dentist recommendation. Little did I know that my tooth will be so angry at the veneer attempt and develop a very bad toothache. I would advise against anyone who would want to do veneer on a healthy tooth.
Since the pain was severe, Advil/ibuprofen cannot even lessened the pain. However, fortunately with help of melatonin I can sleep.
my dentist adjust the veneer a couple of times and still, it hurts so much that it makes my whole jaw hurts.
My dentist then recommend me to Bay Endodontics. As I cannot withstand the pain anymore, I contacted them at 10pm on Wednesday. Surely there was no answer, I left a voicemail, but what really impressed me was shortly after, the doctor message me via text and agreed to meet me the following day. She has to squeeze me in her tight schedule, even having to work overtime, to test if I needed a root canal. turns out I did.
She saw how I was hurting and prescribe me more pain killers, and give me high dosage of Advil/ibuprofen. The appointment for the root canal was made for the next week as she was full book. But she make sure to check in on me if my pain is bearable.
On the day, regular root canal only take about 45 mins. but mine takes about 3 hours. Turns out my tooth were a rare condition and have lots of branch(?). I don't know how to explain but she has to do 3 times the work to clean the tooth. The process itself, I would not say painless, she administer me more anesthetic than normal person as I keep feeling pain. The sensation of having your tooth being drilled, shoved in a metal is not very pleasant.
I would suggest all of you who read this to NEVER do veneer on healthy tooth once again, and to keep the hygiene of your tooth to avoid root canal.
I can see she was tired towards the end of the 3 hours (lol) but she did a thorough job and even explained to me what happen.
The office was small but very clean, the staff were very friendly and detailed. they are also abiding the COVID 19 protocol seriously.
my tooth is now not hurting anymore. read more
