Wisdom tooth causing pain - please help!

[tjb103]

Hi there,

I've lived Dulwich for about three years now with my girlfriend and only just discovered this great forum.

I also haven't been to the dentist for about 10 years which was working out fine until the last few days when one of my wisdom teeth started to really hurt!

I think it needs taking out - but I'm not a member of any dentist.

Can anyone recommend a good dentist in the area that might be able to deal with this as early as Tuesday this week? (If I make it to then without pulling it out myself - so much pain!)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom

Sorry Tom, my dentist is in Sevenoaks - a bit too far for you possibly? I'm sure someone will be along soon to recommend one - you could do a search on the forum for 'dentist' there's sure to be a prior thread with recommendations? In the meantime, I feel your pain, I hope that you're managing with OTC drugs or whatever suits you best?

Had two wisdoms out about this time last year and survived... certainly recommend them :-)

Thanks very much - I'll try them. And yes, the painkillers are doing their best but it's still not much fun!

I'm sure my OH went here when she had the same problem.
