Have had severe dental issues this past 12mths.. had to go to Dental hospital after my NHS dentist couldn’t remove a root pulp from a molar which had been filled and crowned (expensive) and after viewing x-rays 3 upper molars needed to be removed or replaced…
So after a long procedure of inhalation and sedation @hospital, pulp removed,,,and healed well within a week but now, last Monday was supposed to have 2remaining molars removed- 1tooth broke off and exerted so much pressure on my face was nearly screaming. Whole right side of face swollen and on Saturday noticed a yellow purple bruise on lower face and all my lower teeth on this side are sensitive .
I’ve had all my wisdom teeth removed and a couple of others so know it takes time for healing … but I’ve never had facial bruising..has anyone else experienced this.
Have contacted the surgery only to find he’s on holiday and there is no other NHS dentist to see me till 10FEB.
I also queried why I still had a sharp shard of tooth in mouth and what happens to that ? Receptionist said she asked dentist and told me it would be ok once healed over??? Surely this is not ok?
Am planning on phoning surgery tomorrow to speak to practice manager feel I can’t cope with more appointments and the pain and don’t trust the dentist I was seeing.
Anyone had an experience I’ve described… this past week I’ve been in a fog of pain relief and warm salt water gargling to prevent any infection but know I’m going to need replacements on upper right side as no pre molars or molars left - . have taken photos of face so if I don’t get to surgery which I actually don’t even want to go into, so they can see..😢
