Do you get angry? I get angry. A "friend" of mine is making me angry today. If you get angry then this is the thread to let off steam. All those irritating NT's winding you up. You'd like to bury them in a shallow grave wouldn't you? *Hold on there is someone at the door**Sound of man being dragged away by White Coated individuals*
Toothache has been driving me mad for days now. I got some temporary relief from it in an emergency dental appointment mid week. But whatever was put in place to cover the fracture must have crumbled away again as it’s agony. Even with painkillers. I’m supposed to make it to June like this - that’s when the permanent filling will be done - but I’ll be insane by then if this level keeps up. It’s an 11/10 level of pain. I think I’ll beg them to see me this week again. In the meantime, the greater crossness I would otherwise be feeling has been tempered by the nicer parts of my day - especially some characteristically very kind words from a truly thoughtful online friend.
Didn't they give you antibiotics? In my experience that's the only cure for toothache as it's an infection. Painkillers won't do much except reduce the pain a little. Once the infection is gone then even a gaping hole is not a huge problem unless it has sharp edges, as long as you keep it clean. If it can't be kept clean then it would need a temp filling to stop food getting in, but they are fragile so don't eat crunchy food with that side.
I'm sorry to hear that, even minor toothache drives me completely insane it's so hard to focus on anything, it can remove all enjoyment from life. You should beg them, good luck getting emergency treatment.
Went through it in January. Take as many painkillers as you can. You can take different types concurrently. I'm sure you already know this.
You can phone 111 for emergency dentist appointments if it’s bad
