Bye ( hello )

Does your hospital have an emergency dentist?

minime Don't wait a week for your next visit, have you a walk in doctors emergency centre near you at all? Pain isn't something to be dealt with lightly and any doctor worth their salt will get you on some strong pain meds in the interim.

Having suffered from what I thought was excruciating dental pain before being diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia Type 1 & 2 trust me I do know how you feel, for me unfortunately dental work wasn't the answer and I am now on permanent epilepsy drugs to control the problem but my dentist went over and beyond to help me and in the end it was him who diagnosed me, not a doctor so I do feel for people who don't have the same sort of urgency about them.

It does sound like an infection to me as opposed to just a bad tooth as just the tooth shouldn't cause constant constant pain, you should get some relief at some point in the day with strong painkillers. The only thing that is going to sort that is strong antibiotics, I've just had an bad gum infection myself caused in part to a bad tooth decaying so am booked in to a sedation clinic next month to have it removed.

Gentle warmed hugs for you , a heat pack warmed to almost burning point should give you temporary relief if only for a short while.

minime do you have a local emergency dentist close to you link on my last visit to my normal butcher "dentist" they left in the root of a tooth they extracted as it broke and I was told it will come out on its own after 3 weeks I had enough phoned local emergency dentist was called an idiot for waiting so long but an hour later root and pain gone.

We do have a emergency dentist but it's only open 9 till 5 on Saturday & Sunday but it was them that removed the 2 teeth to start with.
