Morning Everyone. Well I have been up all night flushing out part of my tooth I broke the Top and side part of my tooth with a piece of aniseed Rock that someone gave me as they was in Blackpool for 2 weeks. I will have to eat soft things for a while until I can get down to my dentist but I have trouble walking due to my feet and left leg being so swollen with fluid. I wouldn't wish this fluid on anyone the aching that comes with it is bad enough. So I have had to cancel my box of Kendal Mint Cake which I might add I was looking forward to it. I think I might have to find my horses file out and give my tooth a rub down to get rid of the sharp bits. Actually it's a small surform file it might do the job but there is a possibility that I could do more damage to my tooth. I am a walking disaster since I retired I always seem to **** things up.
 
I’d leave the tooth alone @kevinr If it’s cracked or broken down to the root, it might need extracting. Filing it or digging at it might make the pain worse and could cause infection. A call to your dentist is best. Hopefully they’ll then fit you in as an emergency and sort it out for you.
 
Hi inka. I have just made a call to my dentist and I will be there tomorrow I spoke to the receptionist and she said that my dentist will see me tomorrow as they can't fit me in today as they are too busy. I am not in a lot of pain but I take pain killers any way for my leg and knee.

You are lucky to have a dentist working on a bank holiday but I suppose if you are in Scotland it isn't.
 
It's a bank holiday in England and not here in Scotland our bank holiday's are different to England. I still can't get my head round it

Was the reference to Kendall Mint cake a joke? It's 98g carb per 100g.

No it wasn't as Kevin was having a load of hypos.
Eating Rock for any reason is def not good as Kevin has now found out.

Ah, thanks for clarifying Sue.
 
Hi Kaylz sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but it's been one of those days. I have lived in Scotland for 15 years and since coming here I have been told 400 times to go back to England because I am not wanted or belong here I am in a flat what a Scottish Person should have it and no English idiot. I get told this nearly every week if I am at the Doctors or in the chemist.
 
Hi Pattidevans. It was no joke I can assure you but I had been given some Aniseed rock that had come from Blackpool I normally let the rock go soft before I eat it but not on Sunday night. I was playing my Sniper Elite Game on my ps4 when I thought oh a nice piece of rock will help me to concentrate while I take Hitler out in the Submarine pens but I made the fatal mistake and bit into it that's when my tooth broke top and side. I was planning on having a bar of Kendal mint cake but that went out of the window.
 
Thank you Pumper_Sue for helping me out by telling people what had happened to me. I will never eat rock again I have even given my 2 sugar Dummies away and my chocolate sugar mice they have gone. I told my neighbour tonight that too much sugar is not good for you as I found out that hard way. I will have to stop eating sweets and my giant marshmallows oh and my sherbet flying sauce

Small town called Brechin, you heard of it? xx
 
Aye I have heard of Brechin is there much to do there Kaylz as I am looking at branching out to do some photography of buildings and great landscapes maybe a small harbour with fishing boats. I want to do some silhouettes of it or buildings
 
Haha, no there isn't, it's a ghost town to be honest, you'd be better off in Arbroath or up Stonehaven way for fishing boats etc or even Montrose as they have the basin etc xx
