llywelaWow, but Cardiff is crammed full of Italians today - over for the rugby tomorrow.
Italy, of course, are having a pretty good Six Nations tournament this year, while Wales (the holders) really, really aren't. Should be an interesting game.
The dentist told me pretty much what I expected: the sore spot is caused by the remains of the bone that had previously held that tooth in place. Normally they dissolve away from beneath, but other times they work their way out through the skin and snap off. Since mine is so sore, it seems to be working its way out. So he recommended lots of salty rinses, and if and when it breaks the skin to either let it snapp off by itself, or go back to him to have it removed then.
Fun.

Date: 2006-03-10 06:27 pm (UTC)In the meantime, you might try using one of those gels for teething babbies, or regular (gentle) applications of NumZit or Sensodyne or whatever is available for super-sensitive teeth/gums.
Cardiff? In Wales, right? The land of legends, crashing seas, tall cliffs, myths, writer and painters of reknown? I've always wanted to travel thereabouts!
Well, maybe next time around, eh? Becare your good self....
