    Perfect thanks I will investigate. It's getting to the point I am genuinely considering taking it out myself.

    Have you talked to your student health services? They may have ideas - perhaps be able to help you arrange an extension for your project until after this is over, or even find a grant to help pay privately. Can't hurt asking them.

    That is a good idea, I can only ask.

    I am not so sure I can get an extension. Especially as this would do over the project partner who I am working with who would probably not want an extension as she is due to start work and it would mean she has to push her start date back... but perhaps if I make them aware they might consider my illlness in the marking scheme... not sure! It's so ridiculous.

    If you are still in pain, then you are still an emergency, and you can go back to the emergency service.

    They should be able to provide some way of keeping it comfortable for the waiting time either by dressing it or tablets. If they can't, and it is straight forward, I can't see why they can't take it out.
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.
