Default Dentistry Advice

Hi, i have read some of the stories on here, so i am going to ask?

My tooth is slowly rotting, no pain today, but you can bet it will come sooner rather than later. So i am going to get it pulled. A large piece underneath has now gone, you can actually touch the nerve under the front/side tooth, and its a little blackening. Its quite wobbly as well. I am north side of Bris, any tips or advice on the cheapest way to get it out, apart from pulling it myself? Any dentist's recommendations. We have no health care, so will have to pay in full.

Thanks

Get it done ASAP. Go to a local suburban dentist in a modest looking surgery. Flashy surgeries cost more. Don't delay - infections can be painful and nasty.

That sounds about right.Good luck with it.Starting chatting to a guy last night while having a coffee in the city yesterday.He was booked in to have all his top teeth removed on Thursday at one of the hospitals.Poor fella.I thought having one out was bad enough.
