Having a tooth crowned

[Trinny]

I have a real phobia about the dentists. Having a tooth crowned tomorrow....Has anyone had one, and was it THAT traumatic? No scare stories please :(

Hi trinny , haven't had crowns done but share your fear of dentists . Wish you all the best and try not to worry too much , the local will help , and this time tomorrow it will all be over .:-) x

I have got about 4 crowns in all. Do not worry there is no pain with modern dentristry methods.
Like the woman said at the dentists. I would sooner have a baby than a tooth filled. Well make up your mind says dentist so I can adjust the chair. You will be fine.

Thanks bigmamma ......thats what I keep telling myself "this time tomorrow it will be over" xx

Doc Spock, I did say that to my dentist once, that I would rather give birth than visit the dentist! Thanks for your words of encouragemtent xx

Do not worry at all, it is painless and you will emerge from your dentist a new man/woman whatever.

Hiya Trinny x

I have a crown... The dentist just took and impression with some gunk, then a week later I went back for a fitting....painless :)

[Trinny]

hi bez.............but dont they file it down to next to nothing on the first visit? He told me to prepare for 40 mins work. Surely not 40 mins of drilling :( xx

[red~bez]

Yes they do Trinny...but you won't feel a thing.....honest x

[Trinny]

40 mins of drilling!!!! bloody hell! xx

[red~bez]

It's not so much drilling Trinnny.....I'd call it more of a filing down.

[Trinny]

Filing!!!!

[red~bez]

It was ages ago I had mine done btw Trinny....but if memory serves me well......The first visit was, the dentist taking the impression....then a good clean of my teeth...it was the week after that he did the filing and fitted the crown.

[pussnboots]

Yes they do prepare the tooth, but it is a doddle do not worry I find that the thought of the treatment is very much worse than it acrually is. I promise you that you will not suffer any discomfort.

Filings ok, just as long as they don`t get carried away and file down to the nerve!...if that happens you`ll scream the fooking place down

[red~bez]

Lol Elvis......trust you to scare the livin daylights out of Trinny.....you horror :)
Take no notice Trinny you will be fine.... x

[pussnboots]
