Hi! Back from the dentist and I thought I would give an update for all who have shown concern for me and helped. I have a new dentist as my old one has left. She seems good. She is going to try again to put a filling in the tooth (the inner wall of the back molar has broken off). She has given me a 40min appointment and is going to shape the tooth to take the filling and is going to try an amalgamam filling (the last dentist put a white one in). She will trim back the excess gum which she says is what happens when you have been without a filling for a while, it grows to fill the gap and she said the very best thing I can do in the meantime is to continue to rinse with warm salt water. Thank you so much for that advice, it does actually seem to have killed off the infection in the gum on its own. Bless you all
thats good news squiggs
