I went in and he looked at it and said, I don't think it's anything to worry about, but I'll give you some anti-biotics.
Make an appointment to see your dentist, he'll have an x-ray machine of his own, so it'll be quicker than going to the hospital. 
Now I have to have another day off on Wednesday for my 5 minute (it was all I could get and believe me I was grateful for that) dentist appointment.
Has this ever happened to any of you? I've heard of being referred to another doctor, but not to a dentist. I suppose it makes perfect sense if you think about it, but it's a new one on me.

But I have such a sweet tooth I think I'll be seeing a LOT of mine later on!
You know you can buy temporary fillings from the chemist? A kind of be your own dentist kit.
Maybe a wow at parties when you've had one too many, what do you think?

I'd go straight to the dentist with any mouth related issues.

My dentist is very good and I could have probably seen him sooner if I hadn't needed such a long appointment.
But I do worry about things like this. Ah well. Probably don't have to worry about it just yet?

Loulou how about if you went say, erm, oh I don't know, today for instance and he told you that he had tapped one of your teeth and it had cracked so now you needed a crown fitting. It would take an hour to do and the soonest 1 hour appointment was May 24th?You wouldn't fancy that then?....No, neither do I.2 months to work myself up into a real humdinger of a tizzy. Oh I just know I'll never make it.
Funnily enough the dentist was once filling my tooth and the drill slipped and cracked the tooth next to it. I had to have a crown but didn't mind going back for it.

Oooo I hope you didn't have to pay for it? That wouldn't have been very fair would it. I mean if he cracked it by accident he should pay right?
