I am going to push my kids to become medical specialists, what a life style! Having people lined up for your services that you charge at an astronomical fee, workers comp even better!I have teeth issues, procrastination and my overwhelming fear of pain have lead me to not getting my wisdom teeth out. Now as a result one has smashed my back molar into a couple of pieces and now my other wisdom tooth is infected and my mouth aches like sin and even codeine isnt helping. So the solution? get the pulled! HUZZAH!
So I go to the dentist and he can't do it coz they are so fudged up that i need a specialist. So they give me a list of like 7 recommended ORAL and MAXILLOFACIAL surgeons, they highlight one as the most likely to be the soonest available. So i call her and its like 3 weeks away, far too long to stand this pain (despite the hopeful reprise via antibiotics). So i ring the first guy on the list, they are now taking bookings for NOVEMBER. erm ok. WTF, how busy can one guy get? previously i have enquired at a different place and he was 3 months ahead.
I haven't dared call the rest yet but I'm not holding my breath to get this done anytime soon, anyone who can gimme some home remedies for tooth ache I wanna know.
My pearl of wisdom; if your dentist says "those wisdom teeth will need to come out at some stage" don't wait, just get rid of them, I may end up with no back molars because i didn't!

Sorry to hear mate. Tooth pain really sux.
It can go both ways though. I had my 1st wisdom tooth taken out and they cracked the molar next door during the process.
I've since let 2 come through on the other side (due to the previous traumatic experience) with no problems at all. They have neatly taken there place in line with little drama.
I need to get an xray for the 4th back over on the troubled side to see whats up with that soon.
Start the day off right with some whiskey cereal...or better yet, go and see a dentist thats always available.
Hi Everybody, Hi DR Nick!
"Seriously baby, I can prescribe anything I want."
"These gloves came free with my toilet brush."
Dude, my teeth are f*cked. It comes from having a phobia of dentists (a SERIOUS phobia, not "I'm scared" but an uncontrollable violent reaction with sweats, shakes, sickness, and violence). My teeth haven't seen the inside of a dentists for 22 years. So I know of tooth ache. Its one of the worlds worst pains. Alongside knackered knackers and zipped up foreskin. Yikes!
Hop on a plane Phil back to blighty :-)
Seriously tho' I've been avoiding having my impacted wisdom teeth out. They flared up last year and I was in agony but as soon as the pain went so did my desire to get them out.
Hope you get some relief soon.

Good to have you back on board Jas', still waiting for you to ring me from Perth Airport letting me know your all ready to be picked up!
Its not me with the teeth issues, I need all the wisdom I can get.
Ah my mistake, trying to read stuff too late at night :-) If it's wisdom you need I'll send you mine when the dentist eventually catches up with me..
As for getting to Perth; one day, one day.
