Hi r/Dentists!
I have an infection in one of my molars - it's a very old, deep filling and now need a root canal. My dentist is unsure if they'll be able to do it as I also have pulp stones in that tooth great, I know.
There's a slot at the dentist on the morning of the day I leave - one week from today, but they've warned that if they're unable to do it and have to refer me elsewhere it will likely make things worse! I'm currently on antibiotics and told the pain should clear up before I go.
I'm away for 2 weeks - they've offered to do the RC after I get back and give me some more antibiotics in case symptoms return while I'm away.
Any advice? I am stressed and not thinking clearly
