Oh dear god my teeth hurt so bad right now.
For the last year I have been waiting for an appointment with the dentist up at the hospital. It is ridiculous. For a year before that I was on a waiting list for a different dental hospital. This tooth has gone from needing a filling to needing taking out to needing a root canal with most of the tooth appart from the root missing. It keeps getting infected all the time. I can't sleep because of the pain. I can hardly eat. It is ridiculous now.
Why do I have to go to a hospital I hear you ask? Because I am afraid of needles, I mean a serious phobia. Also a phobia of dentists because I have had so many bad experiences with them. So yeah, I need to be knocked out for them to work on my mouth. Because of saftey laws in the UK the dentists can't just knock you out, you have to go to a consultant dentist at the dental hospital instead. I wish I could be brave and it would have been fixed but I can't. It wasn't like I didn't try, I really did. With the consent of my doctor I took a hurrendous amount of diazapam and went to have the tooth done but even been sedated to hell didn't stop me from freaking out.
I have tried everything to get rid of the tooth ache this time. I mean this is like the 12th time this tooth has hurt bad since it became really nasty but it is worse this time. Nothing is working at all to make the pain go away. I hate my teeth. I wish they could just take them all out and it be done with then I wouldn't have to keep going back when my teeth go wrong.
What is most ironic is for 5 years I hardly ever brushed my teeth, I only started having teeth problems once I started brushing my teeth twice a day again. I wish I hadn't bothered attempting to look after my teeth then they would maybe still be fine.
Sorry that I am so whiney, just fed up and wish the dentists would get their butts in gear.
