God the pain

[CJ2016]

So i went to the dentist today and he had to extract a wisdom tooth and it was breaking apart as he was trying.

Low and behold he was unable to extract the rest of it and ive had to make another appointment for next monday(as it was the only one avilable).

A good 30 or 40 mins was spent trying to extract the tooth he used everything to try 2 get it but it would not budge.

So he will have to cut the gum and drill it out.

I was in a little bit in pain after he numbed it a couple of times and now its wore off my jaw is in bits.Ive SH and this pain is nothing compared to cutting.(ive not cut in about two and a half months odd).

So ive taken two 500mg paracetamol as well as just taken 30mg of dihydrocodeine the paracetamol has not done nothimg so hoping the dihydrocodeine kicks in asap.

This week is going to suck big time now i see why i hate going to the dentist and i still got to have my other wisdom tooth pulled. It sucks big time.

I wonder if you should consider finding another dentist. This sounds like a really terrible experience.

[CJ2016 in reply to b1b1b1]

The tooth was pretty badly decayed 2 be fair so was kind of expecting it to be an issue. Just not this much of an issue.

He did ask if i wanted to be refered to the hospital but it could take a couple of months to be seen.

But i really cant be waiting that long so going back monday he will cut the gum to get easier access to the rest of the tooth then touch wood it will be fine from there.

Think i will postpone having the other wisdom tooth out for a while though.

CJ2016, anytime I've had to have a tooth extracted I go straight to my Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon. That's all they do day in and day out so they are well equipped for problem cases.

He uses Plain Carbo as an anesthetic which doesn't make anxiety go out of control. Within 1-2 minutes the tooth is out. I've had to have the gum cut and root drilled out, with no discomfort. I hope you do well with your next appointment. xx

Thanks guys and yeah i have never been a fan of the dentist, and did not go for about 5 years and needed 10 fillings 1 crown and 2 wisdom teeth to be pulled out.

I thought sheesh regret coming now, the fillings are done without any issue, the crown is pending and the other wisdom tooth is not as bad of a condition as this problem one.

The pain is not as bad as it was earlier but still noticeable even after popping pain killers, but yeah this week is going to drag thats for sure.

I didnt really want to go to the dentist today either as i didnt feel in the mood i should of gone with my gut and postpone it.

After the cars oil cap broke off i should of known it was hoing to be one of those days.
