Toothache
Last year I started getting root canal on an upper left molar. It was hellish and I begged my dentist to pull it but he kept refusing and cancelling appointments etc. The tooth had a temp filling but it fell out months ago.
I put it off and off and off. I cancelled my dental plan and just forgot to register.
I was nightshift last night and it started getting sore. I went to bed at half 9 this morning and couldn't sleep for the pain. Eventually had 2 hrs kip before it woke me. I flung on some clothes and wandered to nearby dentist and begged/cried until they saw me.
Dentist took tooth out. He hadn't realisef there was a huge abcess ni had three jags in one area around the tooth and one on the roof of my mouth but the pain when he removed the tooth was horrendous but he'd started so I said to just do it. Oh. My. God. How sore was that! He said I had a huge abcess and thats why I was still in pain.
Still in agony and half my face doesn't work. Not allowed to eat til 7 tonight and I'm starving. I need food, sleep, painkillers and sympathy!
Lesson learned. Do not put off going to the dentist.
