Hi! I had my decompression surgery almost a year ago this July! I’ve had a bad tooth ache on my back right molar for about 2 years and was always told it was fine by my old dentist. My new one looked yesterday and said it was decaying under an old filling and need to have it refilled. I’ve never been scared of the dentist, but after my surgery the thought of laying on a table with people over me with drills and different tools terrifies me. I don’t know if I could lay there and have the procedure done. Does anyone else have this fear after surgery and what can I do to help?? Thank you!
