Well... my lower next-to-back left molar has been giving me some discomfort for weeks... I'd planned to have it seen to on April 6th. Yesterday it started hurting REALLY badly!!! I can feel pain in the area under my jawline directly below the pesky molar.
SO! This morning (about 6.30!) I phoned the local emergency dental hot-line (or whatever it's called). A telephonist took basic details and said a health professional would phone me back, which did happen thankfully! I gave even more details and was made an appt for 1.45 this afternoon at a not-too-far away health centre.
I am hoping that the little bugger will be extracted. It's more filling than tooth! Most of the filling being the temporary one I've had for months. My biggest fear of course, is the septicaemia. I'm feeling pretty light-headed and mildly feverish as it is...
Anyway, wish me luck! I'll be leaving here in a couple of hours and am really looking forward to this horrible pain and sickly feeling going.
