It seems I'm a patient now!

Fingers crossed  your massage therapist might not be needed too long moomy 

Hi moomy 

why are there numbers with your name….

hope massage therapist helps Moomy.

im having a tough time with tooth extraction, expensive root canal and now more. I’ve talked with bcn too.

the ‘more’ is very strange as before check up and extraction last week the dentist gave me a full mouth X-ray with no explanation, I was already a bit stressed about tooth being pulled, so didn’t ask at the time. Then she looked X-ray and said I need specialist work on a back tooth that had root canal work and a crown, actually root canal clearance and a replacement crown!!!

I have no symptoms. I wondered if Maxo-facial would step in as I’m on bisphosphanates (how did that word come into being?!) & I’m not complicated enough. I’ve now been given a list of local dentists on the ‘Integrated Care Board’ and will phone one today. It’s going to cost though…

the RC work will cost £1000, or an extraction which I really don’t want, after this front one is still recovering/ healing. I want a second opinion, but also I’m waiting for a report of the X-ray. 
I did have a CT of my mouth a month or so ago, looking at the tooth pre extraction, which they hadn’t picked up, a friend did who was a dentist.

suddenly I’m loosing faith in my dentist! I feel vulnerable, I can’t wear my denture for long, makes the surrounding teeth ache.

im about to email again my dentist asking for the X-ray report and why they did that…..think of me.

Oh bless you Jayhay and there are numbers behind your name too? Mine got replaced with the update, I emailed ‘community.macmillan’ and they sorted it and can for you too. Apparently it’s happened to a few users and they are trying to get it automatically adjusted but I found it irritating yesterday so one of the Admin team sorted it for me.

Really hope your dental issues get sorted, bisphosphanates do worry dentists I know. Thinking of you and sending good vibes your way

Morning Henry-walk, such a crazy chase to get his coat on! He barked his displeasure but I caught him in the end; too cold to go out without!

No numbers show up & only the name shows, but yes if I type my name with the ‘at’ in front then numbers show up in the grey box.

must phone another dentist now!

My dentist went Denplan ages ago but because I reckoned they were good dentists in the practice I stayed with them. Price inevitably rises each year….Most treatment is included but any prosthetics (crown making, for example) I have to pay the construction costs which aren’t a big amount. They didn’t bat an eyelid when I broke the news about bisphosphanates, and were happy enough when I said I was having Zolendronic Acid infusions now. 

I hope you can get a respectable second opinion. 

I can empathise with you re dental issues Jayhay It’s stressful enough but more so when you are unsure why things are being suggested. 
I do hope you get some answers from your dentist and  get  input/a second opinion which  helps restore your confidence.

Yes moomy  prices always go up. 

Indeed, there seems nothing that isn’t getting more expensive year by year! But my pension doesn’t keep pace that well….

I’ve phoned a dentist but I’d have to register with them first which means uprooting. I only want a second opinion on whether this other tooth is dubious as asymptomatic at the moment but X-ray seems to show leaking of root canal….

o dear…
