Hi all! I have been traveling for the last 4 years and have neglected going to the dentist I’ve dental anxiety but ive a concern. Around 18 months ago I had a bad pain in my back molar it last 2 days went away never came back. This molar already has 2 fillings one silver one about 8 years old and a white one on the outside probably 10-12 years old. the tooth now is sensitive to cold water lasts about 5 seconds, no pain when biting or eating, but in my opion it looks grey but idk if it’s the silver filling showing through, more decay or my tooth is dead! thinking of bitting the bullet and getting myself to the dentist but just wanted an opinon of what this might be? a cavity that needs filled or a RTC to ease my anxiety!

Thanks so much in advance!
