A dental patient has spoken out to insist that not all emergency dentistry will be painful and fear-inducing.
Monte Dutton from the Gaston Gazette explained that he had been afraid of treatment since he had a root canal treatment that went wrong when he was younger.
However, he was unable to avoid seeking help when he chipped a tooth n a piece of chewing gum.
"I went to the dentist's office, prepared for but dreading the prospect," the writer commented.
Despite his fears, Mr Dutton was simply told he had dislodged a chunk from a previous filling and needed only a crown to repair it.
He suggested his recent experience may help to beat his fear for good, as this did not hurt at all.
Journalist Nate Delesline from StarExponent.com also recently said he wishes he had not made a fuss of needing a root canal treatment, as the procedure was not nearly as bad as had expected.
