Started getting toothache last week after having lunch out. As ive got sensitive teeth thought it would settle, tooth i had filled couple weeks ago, it didnt settle and come friday evening even my tongue touching the tooth was enough to make me wince, the gum for that tooth and those around it was badly swollen.
As hadnt a hope of getting to emergency dentist in Belfast [60 odd miles away], as last ditch attempt [dont like to take painkillers - upset my digestion] started to rinse my mouth with saline - first few attempts were hair raising to say the least
subsequent rinses following that i do think it helped as by last night the gum swelling had reduced a little
So guess who will be onto the dentist this morning as soon as they open?
I cant go today as mum has a pre op assessment prior to her eye surgery today but hopefully something soon
