1st Cavity Of My Life :(

1st Cavity Of My Life :(

Hello everyone :) I'm Sarah, Im a dental intern in egypt (just graduated with a BDS, woo woo)

my upper right 6 always had a shadow for a good while (obviously i knew it was caries, I'm just a HUGE needlephobe, so i never got it filled)

anyway, now it's a cavity :( and im really stressed about it, ill go get a filling in a day or two, I've learned my lesson. im just really worried that the cavity may get bigger & turn into an Endo Case, cuz im rEally not ready for a root canal 😭

Im p sure it's just gonna need a filling, as im not feeling any pain...i feel a sharp pain when i eat there for a split second, then it goes away & i can carry on.

i know im beint paranoid, i think it's just i keep thinking of all the possible horrible scenarios I've learned about & seen @ the clinic. can someone with more experience please tell me how long it'll take for this tooth to need a RCT? ty :)
