Hi everyone.
Didnt think I'd find myself here.
I hate the Dentist (obviously!) I hadn't been for a few years due to cost and the fact it was suggested I needed a small white filling. Anyway, I ended up having to go due to an infection in one of my wisdom tooth, which after Dr Google had informed, was impacted.
I've had a 'teething' feeling every so often for a few years, thinking my wisdom teeth were simply coming through and were a little late (I'm 29). I'd never had a teething issue like this one before and it had turned into an infection. I had to go to the Dentist. She confirmed this and gave me Metrinidazole (sp?) and suggested I needed that tooth out for sure. I politely declined the referral as both bottom teeth are very deeply impacted and would require a general anaesthetic. I'm a full time single mum, I work and I'm at university so I really don't have the time to be recovering.
Since the appointment, I am still having some trouble - both bottom gum area surround those teeth and have started to reconsider the surgery as I really don't want an infection like the last one.
Please can I have some advice on what recovery is like (honestly!) from very impacted teeth. I am terrified.
I get a lot of mouth ulcers and strep throat which doesn't help matters.
Thanks in advance.
Laura
