Tooth out! Very good experience at the dentist, considering everything.
Knocked on door, went in, all staff masked, sat for a bit, dentist and assistant very caring.
It wa a good job I phoned. My crowned tooth was infected, the ones next to it too, the root had split and there was a big space around it inside my gum.

Didn't have much conversation apart from when the injection was working, about crafts and holidays!

Re: Conversation

That's great news, Tess.
Whereabouts is your dentist? Mine isn't seeing patients yet and I'd really like to have a broken tooth crowned.

Re: Conversation

It's in Cheddar JBR, might be a bit far for you.

The Government said dentists should be open a few weeks ago I believe.
Do they give an emergency number when you ring?

Re: Conversation

Cheddar! Well it is a bit of a trek, but I could make a short holiday of it I suppose!

No, it's not really an emergency. The tooth involved has a root filling so the nerve is dead and, hopefully, no route for infection to develop. Just to be sure, I keep replacing the temporary filling.

It would be nice to know that there is still provision for emergency treatment. I know what severe toothache can be like.

Re: Conversation

There should be, try ringing you usual dentist.
This is where FB local pages are very handy, you ask on them and someone will know.
