Help in constant pain!
Background info. Brush teeth twice a day and recently floss. I haven't had an NHS dentist for 20 years and have had a few tooth extraction emergency appointments.
2 months ago I managed to register with an NHS dentist. I had 3 fillings and hygiene which seemed to go well. Need both wisdom teeth extracted but they would need to refer me. No pain for first few days just some sensitivity which is to be expected. Then I began to get a dull ache in top left teeth that had fillings. Then it became very painful and also pain on bottom wisdom on left which is very decayed and needs extraction asap. I phoned my NHS dentist that I am registered with to be told they don't do emergency appointments and I would have to wait until my appointment in June (not even for extraction) I went to emergency dentist because I was in so much pain and given antibiotics for 7 days finished the course and still in extreme pain. Went to a different emergency dentist and she said the tooth back left (I think one of the filling ones) needed emergency root canal so she done that and said I would need it finished off by my NHS dentist. Still in extreme pain with top and wisdom so went into my NHS dentist and they gave me a prescription for metronidazole and said give it a few days to take them as I have just been on other antibiotics.
They have made a referral for wisdom tooth extraction but don't know how long it will be until I get it done.
I'm in agony and I'm taking ibuprofen and paracetamol around the clock or the pain is too much.
I'm in the process of moving into my dream home and it is ruining my life 😓😓😓
