I've put this off for so long that I'm in agony. The agony made me call my dentist yesterday to ask for a removal. They said no, they're not open until September. Their advice was come down and collect a temp. filling kit and some pain medications.

My partner managed to get through to emergency dentist in the area (who are also the same company as my regular dentist!). I've got appointment for tomorrow at 11am to have it taken out at the local emergency dentist.

I'm bricking it. I don't fear the extraction I fear the numbing stuff. I'm scared that will kill me, or cause my heart rate to go fast.

If you're reading Joe ... yes it's that same tooth from months back.
