Going to the dentist

Yay! I’ve managed to get an appointment to see my dentist today. Maybe I can finally get rid of this damn toothache! It is so frustrating!

Mind you though, it’s only an emergency appointment so he’s probably not going to be able to do anything about it yet. I know there isn’t a lot that can be done as the tooth needs to come out, but I can live in hope that he might be able to do it.

I’m just so fed up with constantly having toothache now. If I really thought that I could get it out myself then it would have come out already.

Oh well, will just have to see what happens later when I see him.

Toothache

I’m not a happy bunny at the moment I’ve got major toothache coming from one of my teeth which is seriously knackered.

I’ve been having problems with it since before Christmas, and it keeps calming down for a while then flaring up again. I’m actually waiting to have the thing taken out because my dentist gave me three options for what to do with it.

1. Leave it as it is and put up with it
2. Pay an extortionate amount of money to have more tests done on it to see if they can find the actual cause of the issue and maybe fix it
3. Take it out 

I can’t put up with it, I don’t want to pay stupid money for a load of tests and probably end up having to have it out anyway, so it has to come out.

It is driving me crazy though as it has decided this week to flare up again and cause me nothing but grief. I wish the date for having it out would hurry up and get here!

I’m going to have to ring the dentist in the morning to see if there is any chance of bringing the appointment forward, although if they can then I’m going to need to be careful with when they bring it forward to as I have a busy week this week so am limited on time to get to the dentist, am around next week, but then the week after that I am on holiday. My current appointment is for the week after my holiday.

It really sucks though, because not only do I get bad toothache in the tooth concerned, but I get pain all along my upper and lower jaws as the pain reflects. I’m getting quite the expert in knowing when toothache is actual pain in an area or if it is reflected pain there and the problem is elsewhere - although its not difficult when you already know which tooth is the problem!
