On Saturday I was eating a soft cheese biscuit and there was a big crunch in my mouth, I spat out the contents of my mouth but there didn’t appear to be any solids. Afterwards, chewing on the right side of my mouth became uncomfortable, so I just chewed on the left side. On Monday, a filling that has a minimum thickness of 1.5 mm (measured using a vernier), presumably covering the whole of the top of a tooth appeared in my mouth. Having felt around with my finger, I think that it was the top of the wisdom tooth, from which a splinter at the side came away 6 months ago. The tooth next to that wisdom has been extracted and the next tooth appears to be loose or cracked too; all after eating a soft cheese biscuit!
I am not in any pain, but it is tender to eat on the right side of my mouth, but I can eat on the left side of the mouth without any discomfort. I clean my teeth with an electric toothbrush after eating porridge in the morning, and since the weekend I have washed my mouth out with Corsodyl Mouthwash before going to bed. I intend to use the mouthwash after lunch, stop eating biscuits, as the bits tend to float about in my mouth, and not have anything sweet like jam or fruit drink.
Tomorrow I expect to receive a bottle of Dentogen containing 20% Clove oil:-
This states to apply with a “cottonwool bud. Repeat after 20 minutes and then every 2 hours if necessary.”
For the last 2 months I have been self isolating because I am a pensioner and I have breathing problems, and although my useless Doctor has not said that I am at risk, I am concerned about my ability to survive a Covid attack! From Monday 15 June, my dentist started to see only patients that were in pain. Hence, because of the covid and that I have no pain at the moment, I have been reluctant to contact the dentist, however, today I phoned 10 mins after opening and got cut off.
Consequently, can anyone please advise how often I should use Corsodyl Mouthwash and Dentogen, and which would be most effective in staving off toothache? Additionally, at what point should I make more of an effort to see a dentist to prevent a serious infection in my jaw?
Note, in the distant past I had a temporary filling when on holiday, which I think was later crowned, where the root was completely dead as the dentist was able to drill into it without me feeling anything. They say “where there’s no sense, there’s no feeling”
