Ouch Olly!
I once had a wisdom tooth which didn't have enough room to get through the gum and it developed an abscess. I had to have the gum lanced and the tooth dug out (for want of a better phrase) and the gum stitched. I have never known pain like it, so you have my sympathy and I hope the pain eases off soon.
Eeeeek! Sounds horrendous Yogi
It was years ago but it was blooming agony, so I have an idea what poor Olly is suffering atm.
Blimey Yogi that sounds awful
I have had a few teeth extracted before and not a one of them hurt at all, and I wasn't worried about the extraction only stressed and anxious about being trapped in the chair for too long cos of my agoraphobia.. never hurt before, not even the one where the guy had his knee on my chest almost as he tugged to pulled the thing out, splintering parts of my jaw in the process.
No idea why this one was so darn painful and am so embarrassed that I actually screamed out and the waiting room was apcked when I came out too..
the abscess is still sat there under my cheek bone so am hoping it drains away before the hole heals. .am bloomin shattered today and look like I've done a few rounds with Tyson
I really feel for you, and hope the abscess clears up quickly. I hope the dentist has given you some antibiotics or anti-inflammatories, as well as painkillers?
