Hi there all
Just joined the site today as I have a big fear about seeing my dentist and didn't know there was a forum so am glad I have found one.
I saw my dentist about 5 weeks ago as was getting pain in gum above a tooth and have been to see her many times about and was being given anti-biotics which got rid of the pain for a couple of weeks then the pain would come back.
So my dentist said the best thing would be to have a root canal done or take the tooth out so said I would have it out but I asked if I could be put to sleep to have it out.
She said yes and would send a letter to Manchester dental hospital and if I didn't hear from them within 4 weeks then to contact her again and she would contact them.
So I called my dentist and told the lady on phone(not dentist) who said it can take up to 18 weeks to get to see them and told be its to early to contact them.
So how long should I wait? I know they have long lists but 18 weeks just to get to see them and then could be even longer after that to have tooth out.
Sometimes I just feel like pulling it out myself.
