Would you please tell us whether we are allowed to discuss the Prince Andrew business currently in the news on tv, radio, online, and all over the newspapers? I know one thread has been deleted. Does this mean the subject is completely out of bounds on GN?

We changed dentists and I haven't been to the new practice yet - fear of the unknown added into the equation (plus a tooth chipped over Christmas, another one breaking up aargh!)

My dentist said local anaesthetics don't work whilst there is infection there. She had to put the needle right down the side of the tooth. It worked then.

Sounds as if I was lucky when I had all my wisdom teeth out then, one side first and then the other a few months later. There was nothing wrong with them except that they were coming in sideways like the proverbial train on platforms one, two, three and four....

Dentist two had to saw one in half to get it out. The reverberations from the saw (tiny circular thing) were weird. Do I mean reverberations? Sure you all get the idea anyhow! That and the amount of force needed to pull them. Fortunately local anaesthetic did work on me and my GP gave me painkillers for when that wore off. It did rather feel as if one had been battered about the head!!

Hope it goes well, cari, and I'm sorry you have to wait so long

It was so bad I actually felt for the dentist who had to do what he had to do but knew every time he did it I was in agony. He's so nice too.

As for the next lot - we should start a support group. (I need it!!)

OMG Cari, a fellow sufferer......... Many commiserations, hopefully my next 'round' will be under sedation after last visit - I didn't know I was local anaesthetic resistant until then [sick]

Yes there is def worse pain - but there is something about toothache that takes over everything. It's not so bad now they have released the pressure (won't go into the dozen injections which didn't work so when they drilled they then had to peel me off the ceiling) but it feels like I've done ten rounds with Tyson and is bad at night so not really looking forward to another week of it. You are right that the lack of sleep really doesn't help

Yes. I expect you have to wait for the infection to go down.

I am sure there must be worse pain but honestly I do feel for you - I was climbing the wall and had very little sleep, the amount of painkillers and antibiotics I took was horrendous.

Oh lawks whitewave I hope it's not going to be as bad as the wisdom tooth. One of mine got stuck - literally had the dentist's foot on my chest as he tried to get it out. According to my dentist I will be oblivious to the whole thing. Blooming hope so

I had a wisdom tooth taken out the year I retired - retired 3 weeks early because of it, I had like you enough pills to rattle - expect a sore time!!!!

I'm sure guilt has been implied on previous threads involving other cases in the past.
