Toothache and dentist phobia

[WilmaHun]

That’s an ideal result! Fingers crossed it sorts your pain out. Btw if it’s metronidazole be careful not to drink alcohol when you’re on it

Fortunately I don't drink any alcohol at all! (although if this year carries on the way last year did I may turn to it!)

I have had a really bad phobia of the dentist since I was little, I still freeze up and have found I only trust 1 dentist. I also have really slow erupting wisdom teeth (they are still not completely through at 33) and every so often a particle of food gets caught and it gets inflamed. The only thing I have found to help is to gargle salt water for 30 seconds, leave it for 30 minutes and then have a mouthful of milk and let it sit on the tooth for 30 seconds.
