Dental trauma ongoing

Any update Bea65? We're worrying about you

There should be an emergency dentist that can see you and it sounds like you might need antibiotics. I'm so sorry you're in this much pain and hope you get sorted asap.

How are things today, Bea?

I was also going to suggest 111 you can also contact them on line for help

I'm very sorry to hear of your prolonged, painful experience. May I suggest that you ring 111 if you are unable to find a dentist to help you today.
I hope you are pain free as soon as possible. It's miserable living with mouth pain.

I do hope you are able to see your
( Or another) dentist today, although I recognize that is not an easy task. You are in so much pain that if all else fails a visit to A &E is necessary.
You seem to have lost faith in your dentist so hope you are able to find another who can treat you.
Thinking of you , please keep us posted on progress. 💐

I'm so sorry you're going through this—it sounds incredibly painful and stressful. You're absolutely right to feel concerned, especially about the bruising, sensitivity, and the sharp shard left behind. While bruising and swelling can sometimes happen after dental trauma or extractions, a yellow-purple bruise and prolonged sensitivity to all lower teeth might indicate something like lingering inflammation, tissue trauma, or even nerve irritation.

Definitely call the practice manager tomorrow and explain everything in detail. Insist on being referred to someone who can see you sooner—waiting until February 10 is too long, especially with your symptoms. You could also try calling a dental hospital or an emergency dentist for advice, as they might be able to provide interim care or at least some reassurance. Regarding the shard, it’s often best to remove it as it could cause irritation or prevent proper healing—“healing over” doesn’t seem like a sufficient long-term solution. If you feel distrustful of your dentist, seeking a second opinion or changing practices may be worth considering for future treatment. You deserve proper care and peace of mind.

I looked like a hamster after having wisdom teeth extracted and my mouth felt horrible . Turned out the dentist had damaged a nerve and it took me over a year to persuade the dental hospital to do something . When they opened it up the nerve was all drawn down which accouted for the terrible pain I experienced . Sadly this has never fully reolved so keep at them . They need to take out the bit that is left it has probably worked it's way out .

Poor you. Hope you get sorted tomorrow.

Oh Bea, poor you. Please try the practice manager tomorrow. I wish you a good night's sleep.

You poor, poor thing. What a dreadful time you've been having. I hope you can speak to the practice manager and have another appointment as soon as possible - preferably tomorrow! Good luck. I hope you can have a good night's sleep too.
