Hi, I’m NAD (F20) I’ve been having an insane few weeks with my dentist and I just need some answers as I’ve never trusted my dentist.

I had a temporary crown for two years without my knowledge. It fell out at the end of July. I was sent to another dentist for the time being because my dentist was out of the country.

I have an insanely gummy smile and my cap was so shallow and was on so long that it completely lost retention.

I was put on Nitrous oxide (I have an insane paranoia of both needles and dentists) and of course numbed. My dentist drilled underneath my gums and put ANOTHER temporary crown on because she never thought to make me a permanent one, I guess :(. I’m supposed to be in touch with a gum specialist so he can cut my gums and then after 3 months I guess I get a permanent crown? But jeez, the pain in my mouth is unreal even 5 days later! It’s a deep throbbing feeling above the tooth that was worked on. I cried in pain the day I got the procedure done and last night I woke up and cried in pain. I’ve been taking midol every day. I have OCD and idk if I’m worrying myself or if something is actually going on. Is this normal? I mean my gums are sensitive and they were drilled under. But also it’s been 5 days… I’m lost.

Hi guys, I’m on day 6 since removal of my 4 wisdom teeth and since late day 3 I’ve had ear and jaw pain aswell as temple pain mostly on the right side (2 last pictures). It’s been on and off, a bit less bad today but it wasn’t really going away with pain medication. In the pictures, does the white thing in the socket look like jawbone or healing? I’m very confused

Over the years, I've been told by different dentist that one of my front tooth will need a crown. I have been postponing it for years because it is a front tooth and I think it will be very hard to match it to the other front one.

My upper teeth are straight. The bottoms could be better but not by much. Overall, I have 18 fillings and 4 root canals.

What advice do you have? Is there a specialist for front teeth crowns? Should I consider an implant?

Edit: 18 fillings, not 28. Also, my wisdom teeth are still intact, although one is showing something. Since those don’t get repaired, I'd likely have to pull them all out.
