Oh no Blossom, many years ago I smashed my front teeth out too. It's not a pretty look, is it?

In London there are several Hospitals that carry out emergency dental work. I would expect the same around the country, why don't you see if your local Hospital has a dental department that you can visit.

Wishing you all the best. Thanks

Your dentist would probably offer you veneers or crowns depending on how much tooth is left. Don't rush into anything- wait until Weds.

Could you wait til after Halloween?

Sorry, that was very trite but I couldn't resist, hope you're feeling better and get your teeth repaired very soon.

They will probably fill the chip with the same stuff they use for fillings, but white obviously! Happened to me years back and it looks fine you would never know.

But my god it looked awful when I did it, I looked like a village idiot for a few days.

Thanks. I managed to get an emergency dental appoitment this morning, as think infection might be setting in, have given antibiotics and taken x rays, wants to leave them to settle down and going back on Wend. Thinks teeth might be saved and put back in line. Probably going to cost a fortune

Oh no I did this when I was 16. Are your teeth secure? Mine weren't so had to have them splinted at the emergency dental hospital. In fact one tooth came right out root intact, I had to have it reimplanted. It was a long process to put correct including lots of root canal treatment Confused. I have six veneers now but I feel your pain and hope your recovery is quick, not too painful and expensive Thanks

dont thanks. Teeth seem not too loose but all askew and so looks dreadful. He talked about a brace don't know how that will work. Will know more next week so will keep taking the pain killers and trying to find soft food to eat
