This is about my teeth that also affect my mental health. I went to the dentist because my teeth broke while eating and I was told that I have a large cavity that was also passing to another teeth. The dentist fixed it and as soon as I got off the chair she stated that I may need a root canal if my teeth start throbbing . I immediately felt sick because that was all I could have think of. Three months after I recognized that I could not eat cold stuff since it was sensitive. Since I rarely eat cold stuff and never eat hot stuff it did not affect me much . But just see after research I ate something hot but there was no sensitivity but cold stuff yes but it disappeared quickly. Regardless I conducted 8 dentists and the majority said I needed the root canal and 1 said since I have no pain I should monitor it because clinically the teeth is fine but she is thinking that the previous dentist put something that may make it look like a cavity. I don’t know about that. Anyway what is stressing me is that I may need 3 root canals . I am still trying to convince my mind to do the two that shows when I smile but it is hard. I read so many issues and I am scared . Also I feel like it is my fault because yes I tried to take care of my teeth but I grew up poor and dentist I did not learn the importance of going to the dentist . Honestly my oral hygiene stemmed from the fact that my siblings would have tooth aches and I did not want to have them . Now I go to the dentist frequently but I always leave depressed because some are like you have so many cavities and others are like oh no they are so small we should not touch it let’s try treating it to remineralise and I don’t know what to do . If I am honest this is making me suicidal because I recently was trying to love myself but now I feel ugly . I feel disgusting. Oh by the way I have been to dentists in Colombia and the one that said that she recommended 1 root canal and monitor the other teeth is from
Chile . So that adds to my frustration.
