Hi everyone,
I’ve been reading these forums for about a week now and it’s saving my sanity (only just!)
Basically I’m going through absolute dental hell at the moment. Here’s the story.
I’ve been having pain in my premolar on the right hand side for a few months, swollen gum, shooting nerve pain intermittently. I went to my dentist and he gave around the guns a clean and gave me some sensitive toothpaste, all was well for a while, he took an X-ray and pointed out a shadowy line and said he didn’t know what it was, it looked like a crack but I did have ‘crack’ symptoms, this was the last time he xrayed me and it wasn’t mentioned again. few months later the pain comes back, it’s a bit worse, I stop eating on that side of my mouth which then causes me to crack my tooth on the opposite side which has similar deep filling work, but it’s fixed without numbing because it’s not sensitive, the dentist then replaced the filling on the sensitive side. The pain worsens, I give it two weeks thinking it was a deep filling it may settle, no dice. I go back last week he replaces it with a different type of filling, intense pain for two days, Wednesday he decides to start a root canal, Says come back Friday to finish it, i get a phone call after being in agony for two days saying he’s had a family emergency and I can’t go back in till 2nd of December. At this point I break down on the phone. I fee a bit selfish because obviously a family emergency is top priority. They say to ring back if there’s any problems and I can go in and see another dentist as an emergency. I do that this Monday. The lady takes out my temp filling, has a rummage, no numbing because it’s dead right.
Well she hits a nerve and I shoot through the roof and instantly cry, she quickly numbs me up and gets the nerve out. I’m traumatised but I leave.
Walking around the shops a couple of hours later the most almighty nerve pain shot through my tooth and nearly had me on the floor. I rang the dentist in tears and she wrote a prescription for antibiotics? I’ve been taking them for 3 days now and I still have tooth pain all along the jaw and around the tooth itself. I’m waiting it out today but I can’t take anymore ibuprofen my stomach aches intensely. I’ll ring later or tomorrow but what are the odds that if I ask for an extraction they’ll give me one? Seems to be the only way now. Even though I have trauma from a extraction I had just after my son was born with dry socket etc. I just want it to be over, I’m crying constantly and I just want my life back ?
