Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Then I went to the dentist...

And I have to get a root canal!! What the hell is going on???
It's on this this tooth that I have a crown on which was SO PAINFUL to get done, and has been bothering me ever since (like 4 years ago). I kept going back and back to the dentist I used to see, complaining off pain and discomfort and stuff and he told me it was fine.
Now turns out, I have major nerve damage and have to get in straightaway or I could end up with a major infection!
I have a huge hole in the tooth behind the one that I need the root canal on, so I need to get that dealt with as well as two other little holes.

Plus, he said that in the next couple of years all my fillings (and I have a load because there was some screw up when I was little and I basically had to get all my back teeth filled) will have to be replaced!!

I am so scared, I hate going to the dentist so much. I asked if they could give me something, but they said no, that I just have to have the needles. I can't bear the needles in my mouth, it makes me so upset. I came home and started crying, and I haven't been able to stop.

I feel like I must be doing something wrong to have all this happening to me, I just can't handle it. I hate, hate, hate the dentist. When I was little, I had to go to a special children's dentist because I just used to freak out. I just haven't gotten over it, I am so scared.

Man, this just sucks so much.
