It would have to be by train as I don't drive. I'd spend £300 to sort something without the £1200 price tag.exxos wrote: 18 May 2023 23:22Oh odd. My dentist is ok.

Problem is as well, if you travel you could blow £200 on petrol anyway. :(
I hope your tooth is feeling better! Here's an old home remedy that may provide temporary relief: place a clove next to the tooth and leave it there. Of course you wouldn't want to fall asleep that way, lest you accidentally swallow, and I hope you find a good, affordable dentist you trust.Cosmic Puppet wrote: 17 May 2023 20:32
Got tooth trouble so may disappear for a short while. Hoping it isn't too bad when the numbing wears off.
If it's a broken tooth in need of a crown, make sure it doesn't get infected while you're shopping around! Rinse with hydrogen peroxide, rinse with water, and pack with coarse-grain salt. Let the salt do its work a while, then rinse it out with cold water.exxos wrote: 19 May 2023 09:43 Sounds more like a crown type of job ? If it's a back one, have the bugger pulled out and don't bother.

They can save it. It's been patched for now. I only went in for a check up. was grateful they did what they did.PeckPeekPoke wrote: 19 May 2023 12:05If it's a broken tooth in need of a crown, make sure it doesn't get infected while you're shopping around!

If you've got a hole from a lost filling or broken tooth, chew up some pure mastic gum (Pistacia lentiscus) and pack it into the hole until you can get some professional help :)
Either that, or find an Atari hacker with a Dremel & Milliput to refurbish your chompers. :twisted:
