Can sympathise with you there ! had quite a bit of trouble with my teeth this last couple of years.I stopped going to the dentist just after leaving school and didn`t go back for about 17 years !
Had to go and get an emergency extraction last year,as was not registered with anyone.Since starting to go again i have had nothing but trouble
had to have a wisdom tooth out a few months back,injection in the roof of my mouth hurt more than the removal !
then was back again last month to have a filling re doneas part of my tooth fell away ! he has told me i need a cap which is going to cost around £380 ! he said i need to get it done this month,not much chance of that ,as my tax bill needs paying !
And to top it off while eating a quality street toffee in crimbo eve ,the filling in the tooth that needs a cap fell out !
He had put some clove flavoured stuff under the filling to block the nerve,and since he did that its all i can taste,so assume it was not done very well ! have not been back to get that sorted yet ,can`t afford it
