Important Enough to go to the dentist's office ? Posted: 08-05-07 21:35pm


So I've spent sooo much time in the dentist's office these past few weeks, I'm quite sick of the place. The pain finally subsided from the 5 cavities I've had filled. Anyway, so i just realized I think maybe the dentist might have missed one, because when I tap on the tooth I feel a slight pain, it doesn't hurt too bad though. Is it imperative that I get to the dentist (because I heard somewhere if your tooth hurts when you tap it that means the decay is pretty advanced). I am scheduled to see the dentist again in December. Do you think its worth making a trip to Los Angeles to SF (where my dentist is) to get this checked out or can I just wait until December.
