The best £16-50 I ever spent

I got into an NHS Dentists this year after having a similar pain . I`ve broken the following .

1 Vertebra
2 legs
2 shoulders
1 side of jaw
Multiple Ribs
Multiple Fingers
Multiple Toes
1 Ankle
Fractured Skull
Fractured Cheekbone

And NONE of them even rated anywhere near the pain that bloody tooth caused me . NHS Dentist took me in , £175 lighter I now have a porcelain tooth to replace that one that hurt me so much .

Standard Band 1 NHS charge from what I can gather. I attended the local emergency dental clinic and was seen within half an hour too. Not bad going, well done the NHS.

Teeth
I had a spot of root canal done a while back.
They try to kill the nerve by injecting lots of anaesthetic into it.
Then they try and lop up the blood with little tapered cardboardy bits.
Doesn't half make you sink your nails into the arm rests when they jab that raw bloody still alive nerve with the cardboardy bit

I had a Root Canal done as well , they killed the nerve then filed out the pulp , then filled it with rubber Tapers and treated it with some sort of heat gun to seal it over . Watch it on youtube , fascinating in a morbid kind of way

I've just signed up to complete treatment to the cost of £495 for root canal, fill and gold crown because of my tooth ache two weeks ago. Mrs Ratty had me drugged up so much I didn't know what day it was. Should have just had it pulled me thinks.

You've been robbed, £16-50 puts paid to all future hassles.

They cant pull mine, roots look like christmas trees on the x rays. Dentist reckons they'd have to make huge big holes in me gums and jaw bone to get 'em out so cheaper to do the crown thing. I got away with a lot less than that though. Huge lump of gold an all

Edit: Just looked; £175. Was in 2002 though (how time flies...).
