Suggest Treatment For Toothaches With Pain In The Gum.
I have been suffering with toothache for 2 weeks now. I went to my dentist and have been told I need 2 teeth extracted and 1 needs root canal.
My problem is I am very scared dentists, I was scared to just visit my dentist even though I new he wasn't going to any treatment.
So, he sent a letter of referral to be put under sedation. When I phoned up to book the appointment they told me I could only get an appointment for the 24th May 2012 which is 3/4 months away.
Thing is i'm really suffering my gums ache 24/7 and I cant get a sooner appointment at the sedation clinic.
Have you got any other options for me? such as could I go to my doctor and get referred else where? possibly sooner?
Could I book an appointment with another sedation clinic without going back to my dentist to get referred?
sorry - i dont know what else to do.

Hello!Read your query.
You don't need to be scared of dental treatment as dentistry has become absolutely pain free now. You might experience some discomfort of opening your mouth for long,etc.
You can take a full course of antibiotics MoxikindCV for 5 days.
Analgesics like ketorol10mg D.T for 3 days.
Regards.
