Guest guest Posted February 22, 2001 Report Share Posted February 22, 2001 I just got word from my dentist that I need another root canal. I am having plenty of stress in my life right now (decisions/actions relating to job change, moving, house selling/buying, etc) I don't want this one more piled on, even if it is very temporary. My dentist put a porcelin over-lay on this tooth a couple of months ago and, since then, the tooth has been sensitive to hot, cold and pressure. Then my dentist retired. The person who took over his practice is nice and I feel pretty good going to him but he doesn't do molar root canal work so I have to go to a perfect stranger. Perfect strangers scare me. Change upsets me. The unknown (new dentist etc) puts me on edge. And dental work makes me tense up all over. I don't want to do this. I want to believe that my tooth is OK or that I can make it OK. I don't want to have a root canal done now. I know I'm faced with 1st chakra issues here: home, security, salary, safety. Is this one more piece of that? Is there any advice/help you would offer? I'd appreciate it. Audrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
