£68 for a tooth out?, I got one out today one of my molars, gave me the option of root canal or extraction, Didn't know (and still don't) WTF a root canal is but didn't like the sound of it, **** it whip it out now and get it over with i said, I've had teeth out before but f,ing hell it wasn't nice (and still isnt)
40 quid :-)
40 quid :-)
They drill into the back of the tooth and basically cut the nerve is how I understand it - saves loosing a tooth
I once had to have 4 done on the same ******* tooth.
First one was emergency out of hours.
Literally from no where on a Sunday I start having an "uncomfortable" feeling like a toothache
Later on that evening I can only describe this as a sudden change from uncomfortable to moderate pain then extreme pain
Go to hospital and explain problem - dentist looks, xrays and then freezes mouth area with 4 injections and comes back maybe 15 minutes later to which I tell him its still sore.
He explains that because of the abscess the anesthetic can't get through and if I want the pain to stop he'll have to drill it regardless

So he drills - its so ******* sore for about 30 seconds and then the pain just went away

I assume because the puss or whatever is in there is released.
He does stuff and begins to stick these skinny bar in your tooth to clean it out.
I had to go to my dentist where she repeated the process, but without the pain of the first one.
Maybe 3 weeks later I begin to experience "uncomfortable" feeling in teeth.
Book dentist and she confirms abscess again and does work
Sometime later - ba$tard pain is back in same tooth.
Go to dentist again, this time I tell her put me to sleep for this.
Have it done again and touch wood its never returned since
