Hey guys,
Great site here. Hope everyone is doing just fine. I am extremley lucky and have had my braces done by a student on the nhs. The thing is its a shoddy affair since i met my ortho he has been a joke not explained anything, told jokes talked on his phone etc, but i let that go. I had three extractions on monday which were horrid and another bad experience my dentist said i was asking to much, asking for a scale and polish and told me he did not want to do extractions as i had a crown it was a difficult extraction and the dentist advised me to brush the holes, i found out this was probably what disloged clot! I rang up the dentist the next day saying i was in tremendous pain and feared i had a dry socket..the nurses reply waas have you tried biting on a tissue? I said i was not bleeding she said you dont have a dry socket then, your fine. my friend found me in tears and rang the dentist who said that was nonsense and i should come in!! I also had a nance fitted three weeks ago. I have developed an infection and dry socket which is painful and last night over dosed on co proxamal by accident and had to go to hospital. I was told my brace should not be fitted whilst im in so much pain but as i guessed the ortho bonded me up today. He gave me no advice and was very unhelpful. my brace looks wonky too. so the thing is he said he would like to see me in six weeks, but they dont have an appointment for thhirteen weeks, this seems odd to me and i figure this is going to be the case every time s it has been thus far. surely he should not have taken me on if he ant fit me in?I have been on a waiting list for this treatment for eight years!. does this mean my treatment will take longer? I am wishing i never went ahead with it, what with the agony I am in its been the worst week my little dog was run over last week and is at home recovering with a broken pelvis, i gave up smoking and its my birthday saturday. I am not sure if my brace hurts as the dry socket outways andy other pain. too late to turn back now i guess. I am on metronadizole for infection which means i cant have a drink at my birthday party!!! eeek. well sorry to go on, but im sure some people here will understand...this seems to have been hell so far.
