Topic: Abscess There great....
2 weeks ago I was awoken during the night with tooth ache. I rang the 24 hour dentist help line and they got me in that morning.
I went....and was told I had a abscess behind my tooth and need a root canal treatment. So off he went. The tooth would not numb up because of the abscess but been a brave lad I let him do it. PAINFUL.
He pulled out the nerve and left a hole in my tooth to let all the bad shit drain away. When he had done I came home and put me head under the pillow and felt sorry for myself.
I had a follow up appointment today at a different dentist. I thought I was just gonna get my hole filled, the one in my tooth that is, for all you twisted folk out there. NO. I had all my teeth x-rayed and was told I needed another root canel, (the joy).
The dentist said come back at 12.20 and we will sort it then. I should just point out that the tooth he was gona work on was broken.
He told me that unless I had the root canal done the tooth would die as the nerve was dead. He starts drilling I was in a lot of pain the he drilled right into the the dead nerve, or so he thought. I felt this pain like I never felt before, and I have been married 20 years to two wives.
I jumped out of the chair screaming, the dentist had this look of complete fright on his face. Lucky for him I am a pacifist, I just said
"it safe, its not safe what the f*** do want me to say".
The dentist says
"The nerves still live thats good we can now fit a crown"
I say
"the nerve still alive no shit sherlock"
He numbed the nerve and took an impression for a crown fitted me with a cap which has fallen off already, and thought better of filling my drainage hole in the tooth I had the abscess drained in last week.
