Ok,
Here's the situation.
I've just made an appointment with a dentist who filled in a cavity between the back and 2nd molar(mainly this one, this is the problem tooth) some 3-4 years ago. I liked his work and was surprised at how painless it was.Now it's developed a crack and could maybe be redone ( though i am no expert) -cleaned and refilled.
so i make this appointment like a couple of days ago,But they said cos you are not registered you have to wait until after the new year, the 8th jan.
One- i'm not sure if i can be bothered waiting that long
Two- i might have to go to jail soon as there is a warrant out for my arrest( and i'd rather this was sorted before i hand myself in. it can be uncomfortable enough as it is, beside the fact that you are hardly nhs priority if you are in custody- they might say just grin and bear it.ceratinly for the first few days until you get to prison and i don't have a toothbrush to keep it clean etc though really there is enough discomfort i a situation like that as it is and i really don't know if ican be bothered waiting)
The second molar has a recessive cavity between itself and the back-most molar, with filling cracked but still in it.
I certainly don't have a phobia of this young capable dentist, btw.
So,
Is diy removal of 2nd molar really that sore/painful?
This tooth has some marginal movement, wiggling, though could tease/coax it more.
Is it really that difficult and/or painful with pliers or the string method?
I have watched a video or 2 on u-tube , though most were wisdom or baby teeth of kids
One ,or two, adults wee featured doing molar.
Or perhaps i should return to dentist and ask them to try and fit me in soomer.(??)
Can i be bothered waiting, if it's not that diffiuclt or painfu?
Would the second molar hurt if one tried to pull/yank it out oneself?
Hope this makes sense- i don't fear this dentist; it's just that 3 weeks is abit long to wait for appointment particulalarly when i have the warrant hanging over me ( and a sore back etc).perhaps a dentist could do something else at a later date
Cheers for suggestions or experience with diy approach.
