The weather here has been bitterly cold over the last few weeks and here at Yew Court we had heavy snow. Of course most of the country had snow too but living here we get it fairly bad and simple things like going to the local shops has been very difficult especially when the roads were icy.To make matters worse I had a bad tooth ache after losing a front filling. Being reluctant to go to the dentist, I left it until the pain became unbearable!
As previously mentioned finding a new dentist and doctor etc since moving to Yew Court has been a nuisance. I did find a good Physiotherapist in Ipswich at the end of last year though. That was through doing a Google search for Physiotherapist Ipswich. But I digress.
To be honest the dentist I had in London was so lovely and I was not so keen on my new dentist.
Anyway the pain got so bad that I had to go and see the dentist and it turned out I had an infection. Antibiotics didn't really help much and the dentist said the tooth should really come out.
Being stubborn and convinced a filling would make it better, I insisted on trying a filling first. Well that didn't work so in the end I had the tooth out.
Afterwards I thought that would be an end to it, but no the pain got worse and worse so I had to go back to the dentist. He said it was badly infected and gave it some long name. This time he gave me two lots of antibiotics and now it is gradually getting better.
If I had still been living in London when the filling came out I would not have hesitated to go to my dentist to have it fixed. I should have gone to the dentist straightaway and I regret not doing so.
Being in pain for the last few weeks has been a hard lesson learnt!
