I have a two cracked teeth after being hit in the face over a year ago, but I am scared to the dentist. Can you help me?

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010
Q.
I have a really big fear of the dentist, this fear has meant I haven’t been since I was abour 10, I am now 22 and my teeth are really bad, They are crooked at the front and are uneven throughout my mouth. I got hit in the mouth a year and a half ago on the left side of my jaw, I was in severe pain and could not open my mouth and felt that my bottom left back tooth had been knocked out of place, this tooth is now rotting away and cracked badly, the pain is so bad I am taking 24 nurofen a day just to ease the pain abit. The top tooth where I got hit has also started to crack, I can not afford a dentist though and I recieve no benefits. I am hoping to get married next year and I want the confidence to be able to smile in my pictures instead of “Pouting” all the time, please help me, what can I do?,

I can’t get my infected tooth root canalled until late November. What can I do to alleviate pain in the meantime?

Monday, November 1st, 2010
Q.
I started having pain on one of my teeth about 10 days ago. Last Friday I went to my dentist who took an X ray, cleaned my tooth and put a temporary filling. The following day I was not feeling any pain but 2 days later the pain came back and is constant. I went back to my dentist today and he told me that I would need root canal treatment. Unfortunately the surgery I go to is extremely busy and I don’t have an appointment for my treatment until the 20th November which means that I have to wait over a month. I am worried because I know that the pain is not going to go away until I get treated. So I would like to know if there is any way I can ease the pain until then. The infected tooth is a molar so I was wondering if it wouldn’t just be better if I had the tooth removed instead of waiting that long. I hope you can advise me. Thank you. ,
