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.

Sounds like a nasty experience to me.

I am lucky with my teeth and so far, no major works

Re: Abscess There great....

All done today god it was painfull. The dentist said i have big fat nerves, and they wont numb up well.. I had a full cartridge of local anastic which took some of the pain away.

Only had 20 cigs this week as it is them that are causing the problem.

Just wait for the swelling to go down on the side of my face then its back to my uggly self.
