[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2309279, member: 420515"] I am waiting to have some teeth taken out. So far the worst tooth has become infected four times, each time resulting in the well known (by now) routine: wait 48 hrs for ' in pain' dentist appointment, get prescribed antibiotics, told to take over the counter pain relief, told I am on list for tooth removal and will be phoned with appointment time. Last time I pushed harder, turns out there's about a month's wait to have a tooth removed, which restarts when the tooth gets infected and is seen by a dentist. The bg readings are actually helpful, when they shoot to 20+ for no apparent reason I know I have a tooth infection and will shortly be in pain. And the final straw? My fourth and final wisdom tooth has started erupting. Yes, I'm 46 and teething. At the moment it appears to be going sideways, so if it doesn't straighten up it'll be a trip to hospital and extraction under general anaesthetic. I don't want to have teeth anymore. Gastroparesis is going to put me on a soft/liquid diet anyway, what do I really need these bleeding teeth for? (Note to moderator: teeth are actually bleeding from the gums, adjective not expletive).
