Hi,
Usually, its me asking for support, but this time, my husband, who claims he is NOT dental phobic is refusing to visit a dentist as he claims he has just a 'gum problem'!!
He has started to be in some pain, with as he states, the gum, at the top of his tooth on the top right hand side of his mouth, which he claims is a 'double tooth' He says that the pain is in his gum and not his tooth,( by the way this is the tooth he lost a filling by eating a toffee about a month ago !!) though it is sore and hurts, he said it feels like he has something stuck in it. I have given him 'Adult strength Anbesol' but is there anything I can do to give him to help ? Mindful we now have the weekend and I can't call a dentist, which he flatly refused me to do today might I add !! ( Which would have been the best option) Is there a strong painkiller/mouthwash ? I have given him 'Eludril, would anything else help until I can contact my dentist Monday to see if she can see him ?...ignoring his protests that he does not need a dentist....
Any help would be good please ....
Thankyou
