Can anyone recommend a wallet friendly OTC local anaesthetic for toothache?
I was in the process of having some work done on my teeth, with the current situation with Covid-19, my dentist cancelled all appointments. They can't help me as I'm not in enough pain for it to be an emergency and even then, they can only do a phone consultation to tell me the best ways to manage the pain. I'm taking…

Does anyone use or take CBD products or oils?
Keep seeing CBD everywhere in articles and even our local health food had it advertised in the window. Does anyone here use CBD oil in anything (coffee, cakes etc) and most important of all, what is the feeling you get from taking it! My cannabis smoking days are long over, but interested to hear thoughts on this latest…

Private Dental Care - Covid19
I've just received an email from my dentist, whom I pay for via Denplan. He's basically saying that the surgery is closed until further notice. However, he goes on to offer instructions in case of emergency and then gives one telephone number for his Denplan Patients (a Denplan number) and another number ( I guess his own…

Broken filling Weeks to wait Where can I get Pro advice?
Not the only one here, I have a cracked filling in a molar and dentists can't treat it till the coronavirus passes. I know from experience that if you leave a tooth exposed for a few weeks, bacteria get in, damages the interior of the tooth, and in due course the tooth dies. (It happened to me a few years back.) Who can…

Please - need suggestion for root canal specialist

Tooth advice please
This morning I broke a front tooth - I think it's a white vertical filling (where a gold filling used to be years ago). Of course, my dental practice can't see me unless I'm in pain, they advised me to buy and use a temporary filling kit meanwhile. I've been out and bought one, however it says that it's only to be used for…

Unprofessional judgement
I have made a post about this same issue yesterday, however due to needing some meds and the doctors phone being engaged over 30 minutes I had to go to another local chemist to try an emergency supply or get any help. Today I visited another pharmacy. There was a asian pharmacist, I spent a good 5-10 minutes discussing my…
