hello everyone,
i found this site while trying to recover and get some answers.
due to poor oral hygiene and fear of the dentist i hadnt been in years, last time was 8 years ago, had a root canal which wasnt sucessful.
anyway i didnt go back until last year, i thought right get a grip face your fears and get your mouth in order.
i went to the dentist who i was told was good with nervous people,i sat in the chair while he had a look he just complained and had a moan at me.
he said i needed 8 teeth out which he done via referal so i was sedated.
october 10.08 i went and had the 8 teeth removed including the failed root canal, was fine for 8 weeks no pain or problems.
while changing my son one day i just got this awful taste in my mouth,something had happend, went and spat it out and it was all blood and pus,smelt dreadful.
anyway i called the dentist and said i needed to see him, went along and he said no its healing nicely nothing to worry about.
24 hours later i was in hospital with a fever of 104 and shakes and vomiting.
they told me see my dentist on the monday,by the time monday came i had been spitting pus all weekend,my face had swollen and was like a rock.
he gave me antibiotics and just looked in shock.
i went home and took the tabs and i didnt seem to be getting any better.
called my gp who i saw on the wednesday and he didnt know what was wrong, he referred me to hospital the following monday.
i went to the hospital and they were amazed, said i needed to go to northwick park and be admitted, the whole of my left cheek was full of pus and i couldnt open my mouth, it was on the verge of bursting onto my face.
i was told i needed an op to drain plus remove more teeth as they were plugging the absess, problem was i couldnt open my mouth.
THEY PUT A HUGE NEEDLE INTO MY CHEEK,
they drained 25mls of pus which was total agony with nothing to numb my face.
THEN THEY CUT THE INSIDE OF MY MOUTH OPEN WITH A SCALPUL.
neither of these options worked.
following morning i had tubes etc put into my nose and down the back of my throat while i was awake, had the op and drains ut into my cheek.
my face muscles are still hard and locked at the back.
my cheek has scars now.
new year i ended up with an infection, no tooth but pus coming from gum,had to go back to my dentist,took a mate with me as he seems a bully.
he said i had been on antibiotics 7 weeks so no more and needed my body to heal.
i have root coming through my gum now he left it and said let the hospital take it out, but maxfac said he should do it.
as i was on my own when i went to see my dentist monday,he just had a go at me and said they should of taken all your teeth out blah blah, then his wife thought it would be funny yo make fun and tell me just leave it and they will drop out one by one and all your problems are over.
i have been through the worst time with all this and seems i have a bad dentist,people think he seems to scared to do work on me now as he missed the absess in the first place.
i have found a new dentist but cant go onto his books till 2nd april.
i dont know what to do if i get ill in the meantime, im terrified after what i have gone through already, i want all my teeth out as i cant cope anymore, i cry daily with fear of whats gonna happen the what if's.
my kids are picking up on my stress and things are falling apart,i have even had sucidal thoughts as i cant cope.
i just dont think i can go on anymore.
