After a bad experience with a filling my dentist has now suggested another to help fix slight tooth decay, is this my best option?
Q.
I have just been to the dentist and have been told that WITH this xray they THINK they see slight decay.They want to remove a bit of my tooth to see the severity of the decay if any then either put a filling or whatever. I have already had a filling and it went horribly wrong when it came out a couple days after it being put in. this guy is saying he sees SLIGHT decay. I dont understand its so frustrating becuase i only get my teeth pains when i drink cold drinks and it was really bad a couple weeks ago but i have been using sensodine regularily and the pain is gone pretty much vanished but popps up SLIGHTLY ever so slightly now and then but very rarely. I do not want a filling and make problems worse for myself in the long run especially if the filling comes out like the first time. Im just very scared. What do i do???

No worries. If the tooth decay has already entered the dentine of your tooth then it will only get bigger and potentially cause morr problems for you. Your dentist is giving you good advice by investigating this problem. It’s always easier to fix tooth decay when it’s small
