Can you go to casualty with toothache?!!

[erin-x]

I'm in agony........

[Sqad]

You can if you want "earache" as well.......

[rowanwitch]

However big cities often have dental hospitals where you can..... but not 24 hours usually open early am and big queues

[jd_here]

There's usually a dental emergency service in most towns, try NHS Direct or the local directory for a number.

[rowanwitch]

Dental emergency service equals licence to print money for rthe dentist most seem to be private set ups... had a minimum charge for this service will be £220 the emergency vet would only have charged £180

If a child had an accident and had painful broken teeth would casualty do nothing?

[Sqad]

sandy....yes....the other injuries would take precedent.

[rowanwitch]

Childrens casualty are a bit different they would want to check for head injuries anyway

[sandyRoe]

I suppose I'm lucky now. When I have problems with my teeth I take them to a dental technician. :-|

[Sqad]

sandy........at 3.18 am?.......;-)

[rowanwitch]

I have been to the dental hospital.... nightmare... asylum seekers, street people, and the great unwashed andthey couldn't do anything as the problem was 'too complex' come to clinic we will send you an appointment... have you got paracetamolat home...? Mwahahaha! I'd been taking co dydramol, ibuprofen and slathering the area with anaesthetic gel why do you think I am here you numpty

[jd_here]

No Sqad, silly, Sandy puts them in a glass till the morning!

[sandyRoe]

I take them and leave them in their letterbox. Only pain I feel is when I see the bill.

[Sqad]

Wow imagine allowing asylum seekers, street people and the great unwashed who have toothache into a dental hospital- poor you Rowan, what an ordeal.

Yes you can go to casualty with toothache, I took someone there once and they gave hgim adequate pain relief as he had a huge abscess until he could get himself seen on the Monday morning.

I take on board the reply of rowan.......we were very poor, very working class, but before going to see the doctor, I had to wash and change my shirt...respect I think they called it.

Casualty is a completely different animal now and the NHS workers are taken for granted....public servants...."it's what i pay for" mentality.

[emmie]

Yes, i did, but it wasn't just tooth ache but an infection, i looked like the elephant woman, and i ended up in A&E, then admitted to a ward. I totally sympathise.

[emmie]

I had no adequate pain relief, i took anything and would quite happily have chewed my head off, if it hadn't been so painful to do so.

[NOX]

Well maybe you ought to issue an advisory pamphlet Squad to all the people who sleep in shop doorways, and tell them to jolly well use all those ensuite bathrooms they've been issued with by the govt before they go bothering 'decent' people. What a ridiculous post- I seriously didn't think there were people who still thought like that- disgraceful.

[Sqad]

\\\I seriously didn't think there were people who still thought like that- disgraceful.\\\

Oh! there are.

[DrFilth]

it does not matter if you have a wash or not just make sure you have clean underpants and socks on ( no holes)

you never know when you will be knocked down by a bus
