Went to the hospital for the appointment about my teeth .

The doctor said their do it under general (knock me out ) because I can't open my jaw wide enough .

She said the wait list is currently 3 months , so just got to wait now.

Well, a general anaesthetic will make it much easier in the long run, but I do hope you get no more miserable toothaches before then x

Good luck Lou , i have restriction in my jaw as well so i can sympathise 🙁🙁

Well LouLamb ,thats reasonably goid news.

At least you will under anaesthetic ,so less oainful and easier forbyounif yiu are having difficulty opening your jaw.

The only downside to that is the 3 month wait. Can you hold out that long?

Take care.

Should be able to hold out . As long as I don't get another infection that caused the pain for a week .

If it's just a toothache I take couple pain killers go to sleep and fine in the morning .

Hi loulamb

Glad you can have the tooth out under general anaesthetic but sorry you have a three month wait. If you get toothache again you could ring the hospital and ask to go on cancellation list. Can often work and you get it sooner!. Glad your progressing well with driving and hope your still liking work. All the best. X

I'm glad about the general . I was really worrying myself about the needles in my gum .

The needle needed for general is they put a Canular in the hand , that shouldn't be to bad

Hi loulamb

The Canula in your hand is fine and you won't be aware of anything else and then it's all over!. It's brill the way they do these things these days!. Keep us posted how you get on. Best of luck. X
