Gimme some morphine!
I'm blessed that I've never need to see a dentist regularly. Back in school time, I was one of those that the school dentist would smile and say 'well done, you've been a good boy who brush your teeth well' never paid to see any dentist in my life except for a scaling and polishing mini-do last year for the guilt of not been to a dentist for 24 years. I still stick to the ritual of brushing my teeth twice daily and thought that would keep me away from dentist for life. But apparently not....
I've been having this intermittent flare up of mild ache that lasts for 1-2 days in the lower left gum deep in the oral cavity, presumely due to the on-and-off growth of the wisdom tooth. I normally ignored it as it was never too bad and would disappear in 2 days time. However I have this toothache again since last Saturday, which had got worse over days. Took some paracetamol then ibuprofen which worked magic in the beginning. Then i stepped up to cocodamol (thanks fiona for the generous box of cocodamol from the drug cupboard!). It's been day four now, the pain hasn't settled but got so bad that I stuggled to sleep last night despite overdosing myself with all the painkiller. At one point I wish I could dig that culprit out with a screwdriver! I want some morphine, if not knock me out with some zoplicone or benzos. Arggghhhhhh!
Helplessly with this pain I searched on the Internet for a local dentist to go to the very next morning. I checked out wisdom tooth extraction procedure too. Was shocked that a tooth extraction under general anaesthesia costs between 500-1000pds in the private dental surgeries! Called up a nhs dentist nearby but they are fully booked till afternoon. So my next best option was to go to the Birmingham dental hospital in city centre.
Here I am, waiting for my turn too see my dentist. All I wish is for him/her to tell me that it's just a simple inflammation and that I don't need any extraction. Heart rate racing at 120, palpitations so strong that I can hear, blood pressure presumely sky high... First proper visit to the dentist, now I finally understand what's White coat syndrome! Let's see what's the verdict later!
