I have chosen to go the route of same day rather than torment myself with crowns and fillings. Next visit I will end my 25 or so year suffering by having rest pulled and go with dentures. I really hate to do it because I feel I’m too young but with money rather than health being the focus of this countries dentist, I have no other course. Anyway thanks for the advice and feel better all.

People with liver problem should not take these tablets unless prescribed the doctor…

There is no method to kill the nerve at home you will have to visit the dentist. (We people do not have enough expertise and tools to do it correctly).

Do visit dentist every 6-12 months for dental check up to avoid issues as such because a checkup will cost less than spending loads RC(Root canal or other implants) Always remember “Prevention is better than cure”…

If your dentist is on holiday you can continue taking painkillers for 5 days. After then find some another dentist. Do not excess it from 2-3 tablets a day and it is also not good to take painkillers for more than a week.

So here’s the thing. I thought come on sort it out, the one near the front shows a bit when you smile. So I booked and was surprised that the 2 I mentioned were the only things wrong. I explained how terrified I was, but, he didn’t seem that interested. It went ok and booked for the last one to be done. Well last week I went in. First big injection right at the back of my jaw. He starts to drill with water too and absolute agony. I stopped him by sitting up in the end as my opened mouthed wails and the fact I just nearly pulled the arms off his chair didn’t cause him alarm. So he then did 5 more injections all around the tooth, which bloody hurt too.

So, I thought, it’ll be ok now, thank God! Nope….he drilled it stuck things in it, drilled more with the water that just was agony and when he stopped to let me rinse, I explained again and again how much pain I was in, he seemed un-phased.

By now the pain I was in was permanent and I didn’t know how long I could take anymore. My face/gum/tooth never really felt numb throughout. Then he asked “bite togezzer and is ok?”. My answer was going to be a yes whatever it felt like, but it seemed ok. I rinsed and then rubbed my tongue across it…. the inner vertical/side of the tooth wasn’t filled in totally? I found it hard to even concentrate; my jaw/gum/tooth/face was agony. No way I was getting back in the chair. I politely asked “am I really supposed to be in this much pain, it’s awful.

I m talking torture?” “Yes some trauma has occurred and it is normal. Maybe 1-2 hours and it will be not so bad”. I didnt mention the bit missing and replied “another 1-2 minutes would be too long”.

So off I went to pay, great!!I didn’t know what to do, I felt desperate, I just wanted out of there.
Got home after a 30 min drive and the car served as a sound proof mobile box of emotion, where I am sure if a swear box was present in the car and £1 per swear was enforced, we’re talking at least £4-5,000.

I took painkillers and just layed on the bed. Over the next 2 days it let off to a dull ache but I can’t bite food on it not even a 10 minute old chewing gum can be viced. I’ve been back after 4 days and he didn’t even look, just gave me antibiotics.

So that’s me to now. Its 3.36am and can’t sleep as my tooth’s throbbing, again. Stumbled onto this site and I apologies for the story but its served me well as therapy if nothing else.

I’m not going back to him, I wonder why? But I’m thinking just have it extracted? Is that less traumatic? I also think he’s probably caused permanent damage. Cheers for the clove oil tip also.
