So I'm waiting to hear back from my dentist to find out when I'm getting started on the whole extraction/denture process.
In the mean time, I was headbutted by my playful dog this evening, and another of my remaining incisor teeth has now cracked along the back (it's already severely rotten at the front). It's not too painful at the moment.
Is there anything I can do to either "stabilise" it until it is removed (I've been advised if I have it done under sedation at the dentist's, there's a 2 month waiting list, otherwise an unspecified wait to have it done in the local hospital), or else try and take it out myself?
I'd rather not do the second as the nerve in this tooth is still "live" and I don't fancy messing around with high doses of non-prescription pain killers.
Or is it best just to let it do it's thing and hope the nerve gives out before the tooth completely breaks off?
Apologies if the subject of "DIY" isn't allowed on here... Just kinda desperate I guess.
