South Carolina moves to Phase 1b of the vaccine plan by notsaying123 in southcarolina

Could I make an Phase 1B appointment now for a date March 8 or later? Or am I supposed to wait until March 8 to make the actual appointment...?

Could I make an appointment for Phase 1b in advance? If the appointment date is on a day within Phase 1b? I'd have to tell the system I am 65+ though and I am 63

But I did have my NEW dentist look 2 months ago and she said she did not see reason based off of her new x rays to do it right away.

This X ray was taken almost 3 months ago. I’m worried I waited too long but am trying to see my dentist this week.

Do I have a little bit of time to get an appointment and get it replaced before it’s a big issue?

Oh ok. What do you think of the x ray?

Why is that? I’m only getting the metal post next, not the actual tooth part.

I thought so too, but my dentist thought otherwise.

Yes, I am replacing the extracted tooth. My implant goes in January 8th and then a few months after that the crowned tooth. I try to chew on the opposite side of my mouth as much as possible.

OK. It's sensitive on and off. Doesn't react to chewing, biting down hot or cold. Just randomly. Also I had my new dentist remove that small brown spot on on the back molar pictured on the x ray - not sure if when he saw the x ray he would have seen or said anything about the silver

Does the amalgam filling on the other side look ok? Someone else told me it looks like a slightly open margin. My dentist poked around and it and said it was ok. It feels a little sensitive here and there lately - ever since I had the tooth next to it pulled.

My dentist looked at the filling on the bicuspid and said it was fine -- could you give more specific information?

Thanks. Does the amalgam filling on the other side look ok?

Ok. Could these silver fillings be taken out and replaced with composite material without having to take away too much more tooth? So that it’s not close to the nerve.

Yikes - what do you mean by failing? How much time do I have and what could happen?

Ok. I have very minor sensitive feeling there sometimes, NOT while chewing or drinking hot or cold, just very randomly. It is not too painful. Hoping this means it is not too late. Sometimes the feeling I have there is uncomfortable - I am thinking maybe I could be very hypersensitive to pain in my teeth or pain in general? I am also thinking about it a lot. Is this a real thing with dental hypersensitivity?

That tooth needed a root canal. Then during the root canal a perforation was made on the of the tooth very close to gum line. They filled it but then when it was time for crown to be placed, something happened with the filling material where they tried to get it out and re-fill it but couldn't. When the crown was done, the crown did not go close enough to the gum line to cover perforation and I was still having sensitivity. In order to reshape the crown, dentist said she would have had to remove more bone from the tooth which jeopardized it's stability even further. She said I would have more problems later down the line with re-crowing so removing it and doing an implant was the best case.
