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.
You can phone 111 for emergency dentist appointments if it’s bad
It could come to that! I think it might be different here in NI- I read online that you could only use your own dentist or the weekend emergency dental clinic in the hospital that operates for a total of four hours over the weekend but not without phoning ahead.
Thanks! I'll have to wait for the chemists to open for some of that, but I'll try the rest. Much obliged
Oh okay. Do you not have 111 in NI? I don’t know if your dentists are as bad as here but you can be waiting 3/6 months for an appointment. 111 get you an appointment in a matter of days at some random dental surgery usually in the next town. Hope it settles for you. If you’re okay with ibuprofen you can take that and paracetamol at the same time - in case you didn’t know. Regularly rinsing with warm salt water might help a little too.
