My dental operation this wednesday:-(

Ian

PLEASE NOTE!!! IF ANYONE HAS DENTIST PHOBIA! DONT READ ON!!!!!!

Im dreading it!!!

Basically about 7 months ago i cracked a tooth in half eating a well known make of crisps!! Rhymes with talkers :lol:

Anyway the only way of dealing with it was to extract it @ my local dentists..

Anyway.. They couldnt remove it due to the fact i have such strong roots!! After 2-3 gentle pulls it wasnt moving
:?

So they gave it one almighty tug and yes you guessed it.. It snapped off in the gum..

Oh chuffed 🙁

So i had to wait about 6-7 months for a appointment @ the hospital which i am attending this wednsday... And im dreading it..

I had an operation years ago which was a nightmare.. Dont get me wrong it was a success but i looked like something out of plannet of the apes for two weeks after. I couldnt talk properley and eating was a joke..

Apparentley i may have to have some bone removed this time???

The worrying part is im on holiday sat 1st september!!! Hope its better by then??

Anyone else had to have a similar operation??

Dont worry i wont post pictures up of before and after :roll:

Sh1t mate. I had an absess after having a root canal done. They drilled up into it to relieve the pressure and found that the tooth had to come out. They pulled like buggery on it and mine snapped at the gum line too.

Ended up cutting up into the gum to expose the root and then pulled it out. All stitched up better and gargle with salt water for about a week.

All the best mate!!

:shock:

Oh that sounds promising mate cheers.. Where was the tooth located?? Mines top left in the middle...

To be honest i would prefer they left it alone as it rarlwy gives me any trouble... But they say it could in the future??

That sounds quite nastey what you had to have done also :?

Cheers i will just be glad when its over 🙂

I didn't mind going to the dentist until a couple of years ago. I've had a lot of work done, as I smashed one of my top front tooth out when I was 2 year old. The adult tooth then didn't have a channel to follow as it grew, so it grew over the top of the other front one. That all got fixed with braces during my teens, but when I was 18, I needed a filling in my wisdom tooth, and he drilled the fucker before it was numb! I haven't been back to a dentist since.

Same here, all the best Gnashers.
On the brightside you may only have to have it done once if a decent surgeon and as they say it only hurts once, so get it out the way. shaketh

My both teeth top front are both false,lost one to a lorry door a few years ago,and broke the other off eating an orange..lol....so had a permanet cap on the one and a big repair on the other...2 years ago the permanent one broke of in the gum,so some arse of a dentist cut my gum to hell and took wot was left of the tooth out...cost me £250 for the privelidge...So last year went bk and had both teeth sorted on the nhs,both front teeth are now a 1 peice setup up which looks like 2...they had to make the one to big to fill in tha gap in my gum which the arse caused initally....

JohnnyN

Fappin ell!!

I had to have the roots removed under local anesthetic when a teenager :cry:

but they left one root in :evil:

believe me get them removed, the intermittant pain over the following ten years got worse and worse :cry:

finally had the last root removed after pleading with my dentist, what a relief 🙂

so put up with the minor discomfort and enjoy pain free years to come cheers..

Ian

Sh1t!!! Some of you have had some horror storys!!!

Cheers for that guys.. Maybe best to get rid 😃

First time i was having a tooth drilled, my dentist asked me if i wanted the numbing injection, as he asked i though it cant be that bad then surely, so didnt have one.
FOOK ME did it hurt :shock:

I had to have two compacted teeth removed too, that was done in hospital, they removed one from either side of my bottom jaw, chopping and stitching my gums to do it. Eating certainly wasnt pleasurable for a good while!! :cry:

At least the dentists assistant is hot drool.gif 😃

Yeh there is that i suppose!!! Need something to take your mind off it hey 😃

Ian

Well i aws in the chair for about 30 mins all in all.. Went better than i thought...

Very sore and swollen cheek lol.. But generally all went well as they didnt have to do any drilling.. Hardest thing is not smoking.. Didnt have one from wednsday lunch time until yesterday lunch time.. Which is good for me.

Am only on a couple a day at the moment as i dont really want to get dry socket again as that really hurts.. They advise giving up for 3 days but at least i gave it a fighting chance..

Just wait for it to heal now i guess notsure.gif
