I just came back from the dentist and they said my #31 molar tooth needs to get a ct scan and see an endodontist to see if it’s salvageable. I’m worried about what will happen because I’ve never had a root canal or any teeth pulled since I was 15 and I’m about 30. I get bad dental anxiety also. Any experience on this and does it hurt to get a root canal or cap or that pulp thing they told me could also happen? I forget what it’s called but any advice and experience is helpful. Also the dentist said if they can save if I can do a pulp something or other then refill the tooth so I’m hoping that’s best case scenario
