dental pain

[Connemmara]

I am suffering with very achy mouth. Have 4 crowns and 2 loose bottom teeth which causes pain if as so much cold butter hits them. Went to a private dentist last May but could not go through with what they wanted.

Take out 2 loose teeth and implant them
Dig really deep into my gums and remove plaque and I would have more pain for 6 weeks.
Shorten a crown which gives me a lot of pain too

I am not interested at all in the cosmetic business just want to be rid of pain.
I cant remember the rest but for all this treatment it was coming to £1,000 not counting £200 for consultation and examination.

At the time I was 3 weeks into nursing a broken shoulder so I figured it was all too much. Anyway can anybody advise me what to do next. Would anybody know that I had have proceeded with the above treatment would I be painfree today. Also could anybody explain periodonitis as I googled but could not get an exact reading. Thanks in advance to anybody who replies.

Peri....around

odonta....teeth

itis....inflammation of

Inflammation of the tissues surrounding the tooth.....linings etc.

Yes you would now have been pain free.

£1200 seems reasonable....in fact quite cheap.

For the pain Ibuprofen600mgms and make an appointment to see your dentist.

thanks Sqad can I bore you into asking why would you be so sure that I would have been pain free.

[Sqad]

LOL....because my love, the main function of a doctor OR a dentist is to at least try and make the result of one's treatment.....the relief of pain.

One doesn't always succeed......;-)

sqad I am a bit scary of "one doesn't always succeed" nerves in my tummy now!!!! are you saying it is a gamble

[Sqad]

Life is a gamble........no, if J2PUR comes on, he is a dentist and will reassure you better than I can.

You will be fine.

Nobody........but nobody likes going to the dentist.
