In his way he agrees with the other two dentists the same things!That the tooth are going to cause so much more pain over the years! A dentists job is to ease pain in their patients! And this is the only way he can see of ending the pain!He said that the bleeding is so bad and has nevre got better that he can't see it ever getting better!I asked her thoughts, she said in some ways she understands what the dentist means! As she says I have had this constant from a young age, goes for a week and then comes back and the blood loss is so severe!She said my choice at the end of the day! She said that if i do have them removed then she would like me to have a 5 day course of anti botics in the house in case a infection starts! She said that she will back me no matter where i go with this!I asked how would i go about dentures as that is the bit that worries me!My gp has run more blood tests while i was there today! She said that she wants to check my liver and full blood count! Just to be on the safe side!I am unsure where to go with this! I just want the pain to end as it is stupid! the amount of pain i suffer is real bad!Sandy</blockquote>
