That's the problem with diy dentistry, the Bad Guys. Trapping them between tooth and diy filler could eaily causemany more problems. It is possible that the damage to the tooth is such that an abscess could form beneath the gum. Might sound unreasonable, but it's a fact that once a tooth has had a breakage then germs can get in, and they love the rich area around the roots. Take it from me, an abscess is something that you wouldn't ever want to experience again. I've had two at different times. I was happy to lose the teeth. My last one was about 40 years ago and despite the fact that I hate the unpleasantness that sometimes accompanies a visit to the dentist it taught me that avoiding the dentist was not an option.

If there is pain then a plug of cotton wool soaked in oil of cloves can be used. (My dental book says). On that subject you can get cloves as thingummywhatsits - a little bead on a stick (as picked off the clove tree). I forget what these are called. You stick them between gum and cheek in the area where the pain is. These cloves (and clove oil) are absolutely excellent at removing pain from a sore tooth. The pain just disappears for the most part, to the extent that you get to thinking "I'll delay going to the dentist then".

How much is expensive? Sounds like the trick for opening out the gap under skirting and the bottom of architraves to get vinyl underneath. About 120 quid for the basic unit and 15 quid for the blades. I think it would be ideal for cutting the bottom of skirting in situ though. The blades are around 2 inches wide (x 1/16 inch or less) with around 24tpi. I have some 5 inch wide timber framed partitions upstairs sat on 2 inch joists, to get temporary access underneath I can cut through the floorboard right up to the skirting with no damage to the paint or adjacent boards, then screw a noggin to the existing joist and put the original floorboard back in place. A 2 joist length in the middle of a run can be cleanly removed and replaced in about 10 mins. Apart from a very narrow gap where the crosscut is on the board you'd never even know it had been touched - which is more than I can say for the chiseled out/ circular saw/ hand floorboard saw attacked ones I've seen. On top of all that its a pretty good edge/detail sander too. For cutting floorboards I also use a jigsaw, but I take the foot off and turn it over to use as a sort of mini reciprocating saw. I use it with the blade almost parallel to the wood: it can start a cut from nothing and make quite a clean cut across a board across the middle of a joist, without taking much out of the adjacent boards. Interesting variation - not sure I can easily remove the foot from mine. -- |

But, tooth pain is a condition where treatment must not be delayed, as a septic socket can lead to septicaemia. True, it was just for a few hours, and I had an appointment with the dentist. |

Prompt treatment may enable the tooth to be saved (using eg a crown). Delaying treatment may mean an snip If you are going to use car body filler ^W^W^W composite resin, you would probably need to paint the tooth in phosphoric acid, this creates a honeycomb in the enamel, which the composite can bond with. You would also need calcium hydroxide to sooth the dentine and pulp, the calcium hydroxide is also adhesive. Then whizz with UV light to set the resin. From things I recall from a very non PC book about sticking things into dogs, car body filler, which is probably polyester resin, is one of the most irritating substances to place in contact with tissue. Even worse than epoxy, which is bad. |

Prompt treatment may enable the tooth to be saved (using eg a crown). Delaying treatment may mean an infected pulp and Very Bad Things[1]. A broken tooth justifies an Emergency Appointment. Or, if you leave it to go bad and nasty, and have yourself referred to your local dental hospital, you can look forward to two or three years, on and off, of two or three hours in a dentist's chair every two or three months, having it dealt with. On the upside, I've met several of the nation's most beautiful dentistettes, but on balance I think I'd've had it dealt with promptly. Reaching the point of complacency with this sort of business that you can actually fall asleep in a dentist's chair during treatment is not necessarily a skill you want to acquire. [1] This means not just Very Unpleasant Things but also, in today's universally-available free-at-the-point-of-use cradle-to-grave N.H.S., Very Expensive Things. Proportionately, no more expensive than before. The extra cost comes in the form of petrol and car-parking, to get to the dental hospital. -- SAm. all sweeping generalisations are false |

When I needed two wisdom teeth out, they suggested getting the other (unerupted) two out as well, and pointed out that if they needed to come out later, that would be another GA.

People really do die under GA. I look forward to my visits - an hour and a half of root canal work last week and I was sorry when it was over.

"Sam Nelson" wrote in message ... A close relative is having a replacement knee-joint this week, and getting an epidural for it. GAs are best avoided, where possible. Epidurals aren't foolproof. Spouse had a hip replacement using one but because of a not understood but chronic neurological problem he has it didn'twork and he was in absolutely tertrible agony. A simple anal suppositary analgesic gave relieve. My point is that you shouldn't generalise. I've had lots of GAs for minor (dental) and major (brain) surgery and I survived with nothing more than a sore throat. Most people do. Travelling by road is best avoided.
