Now on top of everything else I have a tooth abscess! It hurts, I'm hungry, I can't eat and I've got the right hump!
The quack was finally persuaded to prescribe me some anti-biotics this morning after much ado and 'words' about dentists, which incidentally, even if I could deal with the
Yup, I've definitely got the hump today....and I can't even eat any chocolate. ppfftt.

NO CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!! bah! Melt it and consume in liquid form!
Poor you. Hope you get an ease from the pain soon.
Gemma that deserves sympathy... nothing worse than an abscess and nowhere worse than under a tooth.. hope it subsides soon and you can go back to chocolate munching..
You are fostering the image of British dentistry being an oxymoron. ;-)
No chocolate? Now there is the real disaster!
Drinking chocolate!! There has to be a way!
I feel for you. I hate the dentist, but I make sure to go every six months because I know it will be the worse for me if I don't. Anyway, I can't hold out for much longer without the reassurance of getting my mouth checked.
You do need to get it seen to though. Courage, my dear! Sadly it may be that you will need to find a private dentist, but console yourself with the thought that most of them are better dentists than the NHS ones - in my experience anyway.
Mr N, yeah, yeah, I know the stories. You know how that one started, don't you? It was all the Irish immigrants who were dirt poor and coming off the great Potato Famine. Many of them had horrible teeth because of nutritional deficiencies. Actually our standards of dentistry are OK now ... but not so much on the NHS. We've had to find a private dentist to find one that's any good round here.
Hopefully your antibiotics will kick in within 24 hours. Are the dentists capable there, hard to find, or you don't want to go?
I remember in Scotland, you said it was hard to even find a dentist with an availability.
Ouch... hope it's better soon!
Tash: Good ploy! ;o)
Sage: Me toooooo! ;o)
Mr Nighttime: Our dentists manage all by themselves to shoot themselves in the foot, they don't need my help!
Jay: Yayyy...drinknig chocolate, why didn't I think of that! :o)
Lisa: I don't want to go but I would...there aren't any in the area accepting new patients either NHS or privately ....same old, same old....... they are mostly pretty good if you can access one though.
Jennifer: Thank you :o)
Jane I hope that your abscess is killed off by the anti-b's - I had an abscess 8 weeks ago and I ended up losing the tooth (one of the front big two) I now have a plate which has a whole 4 teeth attached to it. The dentist was quite upset at having me losing the tooth because apart from the abscess loosening the tooth, there was darn all wrong with the tooth... I did like the idea of the plate though 'cos the spaces at either side at the back now have white teeth sparkling there instead of spaces.... I am now in the fantastic position of getting free dental treatment, 'cos i'm on the pension... Old age does have some benefits here, you know hehe..
Kate: Eeekkkk...don't tell me I might lose the tooth!! My worst nightmare!
