After finally getting in at an NHS dentist (have first appointment booked for this Friday) I ended up at the emergency dentist last week after two nights of agony. The tooth had a big filling in which had cracked, also the tooth may be cracked and there was an infection underneath. She cleaned it up and temporarily filled it and said it may have to be taken out. I'm absolutely gutted. I had a tooth out when I was a student - right at the back and the dentist at the time told me that having it out was a better option than saving the tooth through root canal etc. How I wish I'd known better and had it done. I do brush my teeth (although never as much as this week). I know it's not the biggest problem in the world but the prospect of having had to have 2 teeth out by 29 makes me feel pretty disgusted with myself.
Not really sure why I'm putting this on here to be honest...
