Dentist

[North Rhins]

It’s half past midnight, I’ve just had my eighth Co Proxamol of the day and my toothache is not subsiding, at all.
I was at the dentists yesterday, the second visit in seven days. The Polish dentist wanted to take a tooth out. Nothing wrong with it, or what was left of it after a root canal filling. The tooth had no nerves, hence no pain or discomfort. I declined his offer of an extraction, instead, after some persuasion, he inserted two pins and built the tooth up with whatever it is dentists use, I think it was three of sand and one of cement.
I’ve got to say here and now that this particular dentist is rough, dog rough as in pretty damn brutal. His English is not good albeit better than my Polish; however I don’t live and work in Poland. I know I should be grateful for having an NHS dentist but should this result in a very second rate service? :(

I think by the sound of it you should go to your doctor for some antibotics, could have a underlying infection, and painkillers wont budge that. (sorry to hear you are in so much pain)

[North Rhins]

Sounds like a plan. There’s nothing quite like toothache is there? :~(

Do you have any cloves in your spice collection, if so put one near the gum and it should help ease the pain till you can get to the docs.

Changed my message LOL giving birth IS more painfull than teethache, so as a man count yourself lucky LOL (but you still have my sympathy)

Also meant to add, gargle salted water in your mouth, swill it around the gums, this also takes away pain.

same dentist took my 4 year old tooth sons out wife thought he was a gentle dentist he going back for another one coming out

Now on antibiotics, root infection. Seems strange though, that you go in with no pain and come out with an infection.
I’ve been told of a Polish lady dentist in the same practice who has a very good reputation. I’m going to ask to see her in future.
Like I said before, I suppose I should be glad of an NHS dentist, I know there are a lot places where you have to pay private fees. What ever happened to the good old NHS? :confused

Wouldn't it be really funny if she were his wife and she heard about your original posting?
