Toothy Pegs

oh poor baby little sister.. It seems to come to us all doesn't it around this time of life. I think you would be well advised to have the work done. My front tooth had a tingle which even though I remarked about it got missed on x ray on two visits to a dentist in Chinnor. Only a year later after all the upheaval of college and the move was it picked up by the new dentist. I was very fortunate to get onto a Health Service practice so act now while you have the opportunity. I was advised that starting the treatment could result in more visits which made me worry about costs but the whole experience cost less than fifty quid. Look it up on Google so you can in to the dentist fore warned and fore armed. I've had three done now and to leave it could result in the tooth being lost or requiring a crown which is even more visits. I've a crown in my lower jaw and to get a match with my normal teeth required the dentist the pick the darkest colour in the brochure.. One up from Queen Mum colo.
The dentist is correct that there's no pain in the tooth and it's the dead nerve which must be removed by the drill and the now hollow interior of the tooth flushed out with anti septic and fille with a temporary antiseptic filling. It may be that a few goes are required and of course it is uncomfortable at the time but to leave it could cost you the tooth. I was due to visit Julian too and that had to get put on hold much to my dismay so get organised as it's bound to flare up on the least convenient day of the year!
love Steve ps you could have smelly breath without knowing it and you need to be prepared for an odour when it gets opened up. Get it sorted.. Bears my arse what's all that about?
