I haven't been to a dentist in over 2 years and I have been having really bad pain in my teeth. I know I need to go in but have been putting it off because I am a full time student, a full time parent and I have a job, so it's hard to take time off to get major work done (which I know I need) and now I just had my back tooth break while eating ( which is my own damn fault). I'm going to make a dentist appointment in monday, but my question is how long do you think it will take to heal after having a root canal or completely excising a tooth? Can I still work and go to school during the healing process or should I plan to block a lot of time out??? I can't call a dentist since it's like 2am, so I'm hoping someone on here may have some advice.
