    It won’t sort out the long term issue but have you asked about dental access – it’s NHS for emergency treatment where there is no other option, they could at least deal with the immediate pain

    Sorry, me again.  I don’t know where you live, but if you google “Dental Access Centre” you might find someone able to help with the pain relief and sorting out the short term issues.    I used them once and was able to get in the same day despite not being registered with an NHS dentist

    A warning for anyone registered – if you don’t attend for 2 years they strike you off their register and you have to find a new one. which is like trying to get a decent bonus on the donuts slots

    Yeah toothache really does suck. My go to for pain relief back in the day was smoking weed Which of course was only a very short term solution. If there is no nhs dentist locally what about next town or something best to try get sorted soon as before the nerves die. There was also a liquid i used to get out of asda then when applied to gums would make it go numb for a couple of hours cant remember the name though so not to usefull sorry haha

    Good luck hope you get it sorted ?

    Rub whiskey on the tooth it will ease the pain. Unfortunately i know the costs of dentists at the min. I’ve got a fractured tooth and it’s going to cost £150 just to take a tooth out next week. I suppose I’d get plenty of offers if i asked anyone to help me. ?

    Damn, so glad I have maintained my NHS.    Check up, scale and polish and filling for £60.

    I know it’s a right rip off. I’ve had 2 assessments. 1 xray. 2 hygienist. Got 1 tooth extraction to come plus another hygienist. Total cost around £500 in about 6 months. Could save myself the £150 by getting someone to punch me. Surprisingly had quite a few offers lol. ?They asked me to sign some dribble though so assuming it says if tooth comes out I’m still liable.

    You are being well and truly mugged off £150 for a tooth out is outrageous. My last tooth out cost £12

    If you tie a bit of string on your tooth,  I’ll attach a rock to other end and throw it for a bag of munchies 😉 hahahah

    On a serious note OP, don’t you have access to NHS emergency thing like when you ring 111? I think theres also a website that tells you what dentists in your area are accepting NHS new patients. I might have dreamt it but I’ll have a look ?

    Ah the curse of the NHS dentist search, I have to drive around 20 miles to see mine.   I don’t even want to know how I would be expected to get my teeth looked at if I didn’t drive, 3 buses and 2 hours each way.

    There may be a market for a mobile dentist – I know Eight Black was looking for a new career choice.

    Tooth extractions from a mobile dentist

    Anaesthetic = club over the back of the head

    Extraction = Small pair of pliers and a pocket knife

    That will be £50 please 🙂

    i won’t go into why but I traveled the planet for 8 months in pain before I finally got the appt to have the wisdom tooth out. It wasn’t constant pain but random spurts of sheer agony. In the end it was removed by an old school friend at the hospital. 8 months of somewhat hell. At that point my friend could have thrown an xray machine out the window tied to it for all I cared. I did have to go to a&e one night when the pain got excruciatingly bad. I waited 3 hours to get a quick bit of gel rubbed around my gum which did instant wonders, cost me silly money in nhs parking and had worn off by the time I got home.

    The dentist world seems to be broken.
