Had toothache for 7 days...and finally the courage to go yesterday to Dentist...Only have 6 lower centre teeth.
He x-rayed checked my to lower capped (which are joined) said they are fine and filled a cavity on the next existing tooth. He also re surfaced my 2 capps (as the gold was showing) After 30 mins my gum and lips were still numb, but I felt the old tooth ache. I phoned in and reception said wait till everey thing wears off. AS it wore off I felt this rough piece in the centre where he drilled...2 hours later slight fever...he said...anti=biotics...or he can redrill draw out the nerve...or extraction. Where do I stand?
Woke at 3:30am tooth ache bad...now spent R1480...exactly 30mins + R280 on anti-biotic's. Could he have not cleared away all the decay? Pinch a nerve? Does it have to mean an absis? I am worried because to local friends warned me that they had trouble with him???!! So appreciate your help... Paul Erasmus South Coast...no medical aid!
