My Nightmare With Toothache

September 19, 2009

I wished I had no teeth at all as I prayed for all this awful pain to stop, and my life to get back to normal again. But the pain will not go away.

I visited the dentist on Tuesday after experiencing dental pain for the first time in my 34 years of life. From that day I have been in serious serious pain, nothing can compare to that sort of pain. Maybe a kick in the balls…but I have never been kicked so I don’t know what it’s like.

I expected the dentist to take out the problem tooth, but apparently the procedure means he had to do preliminary examination and I had to go back home in pain. And the tooth extraction was for another day.

Well, I was referred to a specialist because my painful tooth require surgical extraction under sedation….whatever that is. And for that I have to wait until this coming Tuesday, until then this unforgettable experience continues.

DIY Tooth Extraction did cross my mind, but that will be crazy, stupid and suicidal. I quickly came back to my senses.

Go For Dental Check-Up

I know if I have been going for my regular dental check-ups I could have prevented all this suffering. Which is why I would want to encourage you to have your regular dental check-ups if you have not been. Because when the pain comes, you will regret it.

But what annoys me is the waiting time to get a dental appointment. This is First World Britain and the National Health Services (NHS) should have better standards than this, why should it take this long?

It takes more than just oral dental hygiene. Do you regularly go for dental checks?

I encourage you to have your dental checks before trouble comes.
