Bit of back story - I had PND for 5 years and in that time destroyed my teeth and took me a lot to make an appointment with the dentist (it was actually thanks to the support from a lot mumsnetters that I plucked up the courage to go!) I needed 8 fillings and 2 extractions (I know, bad!) I've now had 7 fillings and 1 extraction done and was meant to have the final filling and extraction done this Friday but my appointment was obviously cancelled due to the virus but for the past couple of days I've had a dull, constant ache around the tooth that needs extracting (never had pain there before) and I'm generally concerned I wont be able to be seen by anybody considering what's going on in the world. The pain is worse when sitting or lying down and when I'm stood up it's gone. I've also been grinding and clenching my teeth due to being anxious so I dont know if that has something to do with the pain? Any tips on how to ease the ache? Sorry for the ramble!
