Guess who's got to have two root canals on the morning of the 29th! One with only a 60% chance of success!

That's going to be a fun day, especially given as I've got a 9-hour flight the following morning.

That's rubbish Gaz... I had a root canal with a 50% chance of success once. I gambled, and won so good luck to you!

Also, will you have to go back to get a crown put on them? I had a plastic tooth/cover for a few days and that was a horrible experience in itself.

Oh yeah, they're a "get out of jail free" card.

Yeah, I'll have to go back to have crowns fitted. Not looking forward to the whole thing at all.

Not the best news.

The physiotherapist has suspected that you have irritation of the nerve between your C7-C8 vertebrae with tenderness over your long head of biceps and pectoralis minor tendons. He has advised that sessions be twice a week to begin with and has anticipated timeframe for recovery to be about 10 week, however this is only an estimate and could change depending on how well you respond to treatment.

Better not mess about then. Respond positively to the treatment.

Got an emergency dentist appointment at 12:30 today for some pretty severe pain in my upper left jaw. I haven't been to the dentist in *mumble mumble* years so I'm not actually registered with an NHS dentist anymore. Spent a fruitless hour this morning trying to find a dentist willing to take on new patients, but no luck.

£75 for a private emergency exam, plus whatever treatment I'm actually going to need to fix the issue. I suspect a route canal and new filling, maybe an extraction.

Fun!

Nasty. Hope it's nothing major.

Me too! Worst case scenario is an abscess I suppose. Still, better to get it looked at and stop bloody worrying about it

Look after your teeth, kids!

An abcess is probably easier to treat than a root canal, though. They usually just bung you some antibiotics, and that’ll give you time to get on the NHS and get it sorted.

There should be emergency NHS dental clinics that treat unregistered patients if it is an emergency though. I’m sure my dentist said something to that effect once.

I tried that, but after 45 minutes on hold I decided to be a bit more proactive

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 24518

I think if you have the means to then it’s sensible. It might be worth pursuing both avenues at the same time. I hope you get treatment soon and get out of that pain xxx

90 mins later, £175 lighter. 2 injections, a lot of drilling and a rebuilt tooth.

No infection. Looks like a broke a previously filled tooth when I was flossing my teeth at the weekend and it exposed the root of the tooth. Fucking ouch.

Anyway, look after your teeth kids!

One of my work colleagues has suddenly passed away, which is just awful.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 24518

I’m sorry to hear that, Kov. It must be a terrible shock for you all at work. We’re you close to the person? Hopefully the company can provide some support to anyone who thinks they’d benefit from it.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Wed May 18, 2022 15:12

I have worked with him for 10 years on and off. Had not seen him face to face for a while. We don't know the details yet.

The company are really good at offering support.

Be Excellent To Each Other
