dental crown on front tooth, will it hurt much?

[emmabee123]

hi there

I am one of these silly folk who are terrified of the dentist, I am having a crown on a damaged front tooth next week and really want to know what to expect, and will it hurt alot, how long will I be in there etc, thanks alot in advance, emma

There is no need to fear having a crown. Mine took two appointmnents each - one to prepare and one to fit. Each appointment was about half hour and no it didn't hurt. As ever the fear is worse than the reality. Be brave it is well worth it.

What sort of quiz or puzzle was your question about emmabee123? Just interested!

[Andy Cheever]

One she can get her new teeth into?

[emmabee123]

I have a question....There are lots of really genuine nice people on here but how come, there are so many sarcastic ones who take pleasure in other peoples problems?

I had complications and spent 20 days in hospital

I used to be a dental nurse so can reassure you that once your tooth has been numbed you shouldn't feel anything, If it's badly damaged already the nerve could be dead so you'll feel even less, Try not to be scared have faith in your dentist, a good dentist will understand your fears and be gentle with you, mine always is with my very nervous husband. Good Luck

[emmabee123]

quite obviously I posted in the wrong section....sorry, although its not the end of the world, sure I am not the first to do this?

[Melbur]

I'm surprised Dkeyse has pick up on your spelling mistake johnjohn, Did you mean THEY'RE RIGHT? Does it matter where Emma placed her question, she's got some answers and I hope she's feeling less nervous
