I have a tooth ache :cry: and I'm going to the dentist tomorrow. It is really painful right now and I hate having stuff put in my mouth for extended periods of time. I also probably have to get a root canal. I have had one before and I hated it. My guess is I will have multiple cavities and about 1 or 2 teeth that they have to perform a root canal on. My symptoms are that I can't eat sugary items and breathing and chewing makes it worse. Does anyone have any advice?

Try to day dream of something nice while you are in the chair having your mouth worked on.

Also have you taken any painkillers yet, if you can ask your parents for something like Ibuprofen. This might not stop the pain totally but it may take the edge off it.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.
