Wisdom teeth are a different story altogether, no harm in losing a back tooth.

Yeah even if everyone is booked up just tell them you’ll go on the cancellation list. You’ll be rang within a few days. @peddlerscross

Good stuff.
I’m a complete novice at this craic and haven’t been to a dentist since Primary School.
I was blaming myself for having a rotten tooth but looks like a common enough issue.

It’s common enough amongst lads who haven’t been to the dentist in over 20 years alright.

The last time I got a toothache I sucked cloves and it worked quite well in reducing discomfort.
Fennel tea.
Paracetamol and ibuprofen alternating every 4 hours, max dose
Everything else is all horse shit
Clove oil is more effective when dealing with toothache
I was prescribed painkillers when i got dry socket from wisdom tooth extraction, not clove oil. Heavy and regular pain killers

If the tooth is gone we’ve got a different situation I suppose
You get a check up and polish for €15 off the prsi per year. Once you get it fixed avail of it. I was in a similar situation a few years back, a few fillkmgs that laya covered.
Ring around, its near on impossible to get a dentist this time of year, hopefully isnt a pain in the hole
I get Decare dental through work & then i send the reciept off to VHI too. A filling recently cost me about 15 quid.

A lad in his 20s or 30s never having heard of a wisdom tooth. And he from Tipp. There’s surely a one liner there for the taking. I’ll leave it to @Julio_Geordio or @TreatyStones to close it out
I got a belt of a hurley about 25 years ago which knocked out one of my front teeth. The dentist splinted it in within the hour in a procedure that wouldn’t pass muster nowadays I’m sure.
About 15 years in it had started to discolour so I got a veneer.
5 years on my dentist told me it would have to go… Could come out at any moment and wasn’t secure. I needed an implant. Roll on about 15 dentist visits, a 3 year spell wearing a denture and a bone graft which involved bone being pared from my jaw and embedded in my gum and I will be the proud owner of an implant next Monday.
6 grand lighter all in I’d say

That’s horrific. What was the need for the bone graft? Could they not just put a screw into the jaw?
Wasn’t enough bone there so needed to be bolstered. I suppose there had been no root on that tooth for so long the bone was gone
