Does that work with inflamed gums etc? I thought it was just for mouth ulcers?

If you think it may help, i'll pop out and get some now, as vinegar isn't working

A. Bonjela gel contains an effective local analgesic called choline salicylate which helps to reduce the pain and inflammation associated with mouth ulcers. It also contains an antiseptic called cetalkonium chloride, which helps fight infection

I does help to numb your mouth worth a try

Thanks, i'm off to the pharmacy, as I have a prescription to collect. I'll pick some Bonjela up and ask the pharmacist if anything else may help.

Thanks for the help barber1982

Looks like I'm going to have to put up with the pain.

No - you are going to have to find a dentist and PAY.

You can argue about the politics of all this later, but the NHS system is crap and deteriorating.

Bongella will not cure an abscess, which is what it sounds like you have.

Doing anything stupid in the way of DIY could make things 10 times worse.

GET IT SORTED OUT

It really has gone to the dogs, dental treatment in this country.
I registered with the only dentist accepting NHS in town a few years back, and have to consider myself lucky.

but why? I pay my taxes, I've paid for the NHS, why should I consider myself lucky? I'm only getting what I pay a lot for.

Those forced to go private (as in the only choice is stump up or rot) are paying up twice. Once for the treatement they can't get, and once for the treatement they do. Talk about rip off britain. I'm amazed it isn't an election issue.

If it comes down to it though, you can't put a price on your health. Money saving is a tool to a better life. Your health isn't worth scrimping and saving over, to it's detriment. I wouldn't be a fool that knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. I'd pay up, get it sorted and come election time vote for something better than this sorry lot.

Luckily, whilst I am considered disabled, I don't have to pay (unlike last time where I paid for a bodge job), but i've just had a phone call and I can see an emergency dentist tonight (5.30), and they have found me a dentist in my town willing to take me on, which contrary to your belief, I am very happy about, as it means i'm treated like normal person now, and not a disabled person, which as I say, I am very happy about.

Once I am able bodied again and able to earn my living once more, I will likely take out a Denplan (think that is what it is called?)

I believe the NHS has just about halved it's costs recently, which is great, although if I can afford Private in the future, I will likely do.

I'm just happy someone has finally acknowledged I exist!

Thanks for the advice.

Touch wood, I will have a new dentist very soon

My MP has made it his main issue, along with tax credits, so my next step was him, but it seems I may not need him now.

I agree with health being most important. As someone with poor health all my life, despite not drinking or smoking, I appreciate every last breath. My fear of the dentist came about after my last one messed everything up and only completing half the job.

Sadly, most of my money goes on my debts right now, but if I can save a few £'s here and there, it helps. I have a bit put aside, just incase.

btw, if it is an abscess, how do they get rid of it, and does it hurt?

I know you're going to put the fear of life into me now
