Went to the dentist this morning,,she thinks its a cracked tooth that has infection and possibly an abcess starting so im on Antibiotics and have to have the toothy out in just over two weeks. I also asked her(stupidly really) whether this could be making my Blood tests come out funny and she said yes if its a slow growing infection thats been brewing for a while so im mentioning it to the doctor. I have had two lots of previous antibiotics though. Anyway i will tell the doctor see what she thinks.
I dont know what im going to do when i lose too many,,,do they fit plates on the NHS or are they a private thing?. I dont know anything about what happens when you lose your teeth?. I cannot afford to pay a lot and it worries me.
Im back,,,well the tooth was a B***ER and broke in lots of pieces so she had to get the bits out. But there is one root that is embedded possibly calcified to jawbone. She did not want to put pressure enough and break my jaw. SO it can stay in and maybe will come to the surface and i can have it out if i wish. Or it can be left in there,it wont or should not cause any pain as there is no nerve in it,,and it just stays there when the gum heals over. She numbed it well and i could not feel a thing but it felt like she was scraping on jawbone trying to get the other bit out. It was probably just the root she was scraping against but it did not sound very nice. I was just laying there twirling my thumbs LOL. She is a very good dentist and tells you all about what she has done which is good. I have the pain tablets, and salt ready to clean it tomorrow. Its still numb at the moment but the hole is HUGE!!!. Im soooo GLAD ITS DONE!!!.
Thanks for advice about the dental stuff above. She said im doing well and still have 22 teeth. I just want to have the prepared knowledge for when the time comes but she said im a way off falsies yet!!.(as i call them).
