Wish me luck for thursday

Please, I have to go to the dentist and I don't like dentists, they only people scarier than dentists are hygenists.

I think I may have a abcess in one of my uper teeth or the gap where one was, I have quite bad nerve damage to my teeth and have previously had some nerves removed. This means that I often don't know that anythings wrong until its really bad.

At least this lot are used to dealing with people with multiple allergies, ND and the terrified. I think they should be scared with the prices these private places charge, but there's not other option, there are no NHS dentists taking patients on, so its £125-250 per filling, I dread to think what it would cost if I needed anything more complicated.

The appointments for 10am, thats the middle of the night!

  • No it wasn't that bad or I'd have called an ambulance. It was just sore and a bit swollen, I've never broken a bone before, except probably a couple in my feet.

    I went to the minor injuries unit and they said I'd twisted and maybe strained the tendon a bit and rest it and go back if it gets worse.

    Interestingly though, when I told them I take high strength turmeric tablets they said that turmeric is one of the strongest anti-inflamitories they know of. It was because of the turmeric that I thought I ought to go as I know that things don't swell or show other symptoms as much.
