I have a tooth that I think is rotten and I want to see a sedation dentist. I haven\u2019t been to the dentist much in life because my dad\u2019s job doesn\u2019t always give good dental insurance to employees. For the past 2 years they didn\u2019t offer it. My tooth hurts on and off and since January it has been hurting more consistently. I told my dad about the toothache and he keeps saying that he needs to get me to a dentist but he isn\u2019t doing it. One of my classmates went to a sedation dentist to get her wisdom teeth out and I am thinking that\u2019s what I need to get this tooth pulled. I don\u2019t know if I can even mention a sedation dentist to my dad but I am thinking that maybe if I say the right thing to him that I can get some action. I am afraid that my tooth is rotten and is going to mess up my other teeth. What should I say to help my dad know this is serious and I might need a sedation dentist? Thanks Emilee<\/p>\n

We\u2019re sorry that you\u2019re having increasing pain in your tooth that isn\u2019t being addressed. Please save a link to this page or print the page for your parents to read.<\/p>\n

If your tooth is hurting and appears to be rotting, it\u2019s important to get it treated right away. Preventive dental care will protect your oral health and prevent a tooth infection from spreading to other teeth, your gums and jawbone, and possibly into your bloodstream.<\/p>\n

A dentist will need to examine your tooth first. If the tooth is treated quickly, it might not need to be extracted. A root canal treatment can be used to remove the infection and save your tooth.<\/p>\n

If your parents are concerned about the cost, there might be state-provided dental care for families with limited income. Some dentists will offer discounted care or provide your parents with a payment plan.<\/p>\n

If you suffer with dental anxiety you might need a sedation dentist, but if you\u2019re not nervous about dental appointments, sedation might not be necessary. A dentist will examine your tooth and let you know if local anesthetic is enough to treat it or if sedation is really needed.<\/p>\n

If you still can\u2019t help from your parents for seeing a dentist right away, please talk with your school guidance counselor.<\/p>\n
