What advice are you after. Do you have any specific questions...?

bonzo77 · 15/10/2013 19:36

The things I'd want to know are: does it really have to go? Can I have a second opinion? What will having it out entail? What must / can be done once it's out?

And this is why bonzo is a better person than me Smile Envy

mrsmorton oh I can talk the talk all right! It's been a looooong time since I did any serious operative dentistry. Children and the lure of doms and dentures are to blame!

Ooh, I love a good surgical!! Although I'm starting to like making dentures more.

Got root canal treatment on a tooth approx 4 times, whilst carrying out the treatment dentist hit my sinus wall I was in agony.. They completed my treatment then put a crown on the tooth,. Crown wasn't fitted properly only just found this out after getting an infection in my tooth,,, have left the nhs dentist practice after the above and not trusting them I am now private and have to go into hospital to get the tooth removed they can't do it at dentist due to damage to sinisus then I need to get a bridge fitted..
What are your thoughts on this should I take it further or
Thanks

You would need to clarify a number of things before even attempting to take it further, there are some things which don't quite make sense. Have you asked for a copy of your records?

No but I'm off to do that tomorrow. My mouth is sore my tooth has an infection and I have sinusitis again.. Hospital appointment going to take between 3-4 months to come through
