Dentist, doctor, or ignore it and hope it goes?

Good luck from me too.

If you do need root canal treatment I have had this done and it really is not as bad as it sounds.

Thinking of you Savy

Thank you all for your good wishes!

Apparently, so have I!

The lump - it really is very little, more of a pimple - is probably a small infection in an area where I have both a crowned tooth and root canal treatment I'd forgotten all about. He'll have another look at my routine appointment and X-ray me in Feb, meanwhile if it flares up I can have antibiotics but he doesn't think I need them if there's been no change for so long.

And for that he charges me £5.32!

Ooooh, no, not Quality Street, made by Nestle, and Cadbury's Roses are FAR nicer, especially the soft centres! Gave up on toffees a long time ago when they started pulling my fillings out!

Bump for someone with toothache

Thanks Spendless ;D
I posted a question earlier on about having a dressing put on an infected wisdom tooth today.
does anyone know if i have to take the dressing off or does it dissolve?
It's in a hole where a wisdom tooth was taken out last week.
Had to visit an emergency dentist this afternoon as i could not take the pain any longer.
have been given amoxycillin but i wasn't told what to do about the dressing.
It's got that smelly cloves stuff on it and tastes disgusting!
Anyone know what to do about the dressing?
thanks! ;D
