Tooth ache
 
Now this really su*ks!!!

I had one of my wisdom teeth taken out a year ago but the stupid dentist could not get it all out...

It's been pushing itself out for a while... Now tonight it really hurts... I am in pain!!!

How much will it costs me to go to dentist over here??

Oh Matewx you poor thing .... cant answer re costs but try rinsing mouth with soluble asprin (if not allergic or taking anything that contra indicates it!) old wives tale also recommends rubbing gums with whiskey or oil of cloves.... think whiskey more to your taste! Guess you've already taken painkillers?
Hope you get sorted lol x

Not sure about cost but if you rub some teething gel on it that may provide some relief - it really does work! ;)

re cost - go out and play a game of rugby - get smacked in the mouth - and claim it on ACC :D

One word. Cloves. Although Mr Matewx may insist on you wearing a surgical mask.

Totally agree with that - bill for a visit yesterday was $195 and $340 for OH that was just for dental hygienist, dentist to have a look and a few x-ray.

The bad news is that the work required will cost $1500 and $2200 for a few drillings and fillings. :ohmy: Can't wait for the day my crowns need to be replaced :eek:

I suggest you get anything done before you come across to NZ if you can
