[QUOTE="Myself2018, post: 120422, member: 8004"] Hi , I had a crown put on years back , at the side of my 2 front teeth (upper) , when I went to a dentist a few months back they did a xray and said I had an infection under it , (this was a temporary dentist as I had moved and was on the waiting list) , I'm still one the waiting list since may 2016 ! , I lost my job due to I'll health so I'm not working so I cannot afford private treatment , 2 months ago I had really bad toothache and ended up in AnE as my face ballooned , they gave me 2 sets of antibiotics , it helped the swelling go down but it still left me with a lump right on top of my gums and its at the side of my nose , My crown had fallen out and I had to resort to buying dentist cement to try and put it back myself , I'd been having nose bleeds , dizziness , eyesight problems , I made an emergency appointment , This was yesterday , they did a xray and the 2 of them fell silent for what seemed ages , I'll cut this short by saying what they told me , "You have a serious infection and antibiotics won't work as they haven't so far , you need on going work ASAP" I said "I'm on a waiting list" And they said "this is serious its already started spreading , it will affect your right eye and your bones in your face could actually crumble , if I were you I'd ring around every dentist possible" So today after another night of my face going bright red boiling and my feet freezing , could hardly breathe (frightening as I'm asthmatic) bad stomach , pressure by my heart , I rang dentists and no room , I rang NHS who said to ring the health board , I've even emailed my local MP , because I've been unwell for months and the dizziness and confusment is getting worse , I didn't think the dizziness could have been associated with this lump I've got , I've had to put up with it for months so it obviously spreading , and I'm scared as I can't find a dentist , How will I know when it becomes fatal ? What else can I do , I'm 41 years old and my life has been on hold for the last few years because of my teeth , Any help I'd greatly appreciate or if someone had something similar Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
