Hi all.
I posted last week about my terrible tooth ache and my inability to find an NHS dentist. I eventually got booked myself in for September 3rd but the pain was beyond belief and I went to the emergency dentist on Sunday. Because I have a massive phobia and she couldn't sedate me without my medical history, she decided it would be best to extract both teeth rather than mess around too much with root canal. After a major hissy fit and lots of crying (very embarrassing when I look back at it now!!) I am now minus 2 teeth :wave_cry:
The top extraction site is healing well but I'm having major issues with the bottom one. My mouth hurts more than it did when I had tooth ache, my whole jaw aches and I have ear ache. There is a hard lump on the inside of my gum which is tender and today I have noticed that there feels like there is something stuck in the socket. I'm not sure how to describe it, it feels like hard skin or something but it is incredibly incredibly painful!! I've tried gently brushing it out with my toothbrush but it is well and truly stuck.
I aren't sleeping, I can hardly swallow and I'm as moody as hell. I feel like I could single handedly keep Panadol in business! I can't get to a dentist until Tuesday at the earliest (and thats only if the nice lady fancies giving me an emergency appointment) cause I'm at a funeral on Monday. I just want to cry..... AAARRRGGGGGHHH!!!!
