Thank youSuffolk_lass said:There will be plenty of time to help your DS and his GF in due course - you only have a few months left on your mortgage so saving a bit more then will help - there are bound to be unforeseen or even planned projects you can help with in due course. Your personal health and wellbeing must take priority, even if you still think of everyone else before you.
Lots of people with dodgy dental needs and if ever there was a time for a bit of DIY maintenance, this is it:- My Mum was talking about a very wobbly tooth last night - I suggested she superglue it into her dental device as an interim rather than having a gap, if it comes out.
- Husband's colleague used to use the 3D printer at school to make teeth to glue into his mouth and also used mouldable plastic for fillings (using superglue which sets quickly - he was terrified of dentists
- Husband has had an infected tooth for about two years with intermittent pain - six months ago we went to a new dentist (as our old one is retiring and was 50 miles away, because I still worked there and his (now deceased) Mum lived there) - they did not say remove it (which the new dentist at the old practice had advised) so he said nothing. It has really flared up in lockdown and he has just completed a course of antibiotics. There is a lesson in there but I am not saying. He knows.
- After a white filling, my tooth was too long and the first night a bit came away. I took a metal nail-file to it to take the sharp edge off and the dentist complimented me on my work when I confessed. Hopefully yours will take a tolerant approach if you intervene in the meantime

Hope you get your crown sorted soon. I had one that wouldn’t stay in and the dentist actually used superglue on it whilst he was waiting for a new one to be made....he even said he shouldn’t be using it.....then he couldn’t get it out when the new one needed fitting...messed the roof of my mouth up trying to get it out and I got an infection 😳 I refused to see him after that 🥺 I transferred to a lovely lady dentist at the same practice instead.
In the last half hour it’s gone really heavy with black clouds....think we’re in for a thunder storm⚡️⚡️January spends - £587.584 -

That Boots Dentek will work - there is guidance from an emergency dental site that says:
If possible, slip the crown back over the tooth. Before doing so, coat the inner surface with an over-the-counter temporary dental cement, or in a pinch, use denture fixative. Brush with sensitive toothpaste and avoid sticky foods and sweets on that side of your mouth (at least until your dentist has made a permanent repair.
I have trouble with my crown because I sometimes grind my teeth. Less so now I have stopped my stressful job!Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £10,020.92 out of £6000 after September
OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I am at £2234.63/£3000 or 74.49% of my annual spend so far (not going to be much of a Christmas at this rate as no spare after 9 months!
