My tooth started hurting a while ago and I made an appointment for the 13th. When I looked in the mirror it looked like a slit going down the side of my tooth. It has now started itching and hurting severely and my gums are really red and receding, and I’m so scared that I waited too long. I’m probably gonna try to go to an emergency dentist, but please just give me some encouragement
