Trust me to be the awkward one. It appears I have a crown with a dying tooth underneath that will either require root canal work costing £800 and possibly carried out in hospital as it goes very deep, or I could have the tooth taken out.
I have decided to have it out as its right at the back and really at my age its something that doesn’t bother me. Also we are moving soon and that money will help pay for the blinds we will need in our new house, which has lots of windows.
I am on antibiotics and he will reassess how I feel at the next appointment, his priority is to get me out of the pain I am in. I feel lucky I got a cancellation appointment today otherwise I would have been waiting for a virus/sinusitis episode to abate.
Just to also say, I would advise anyone with similar symptoms to always see your dentist first when its anything to do with the mouth, especially as it’s all so closely connected to the sinuses.
