It's a right bastard!

When you are a tramper and you have toothache :blush: :cry: had a filling done and 2 temp pry ones a couple of week since and I think one of the templet ones is a filling now more and the nerve is showing :confused: I’m in ■■■■■■■ agony sometimes especially on a night but obviously I can’t get to a dentist.
This is one of the downsides to tramping as you can never get a doctors or dentist appointment sorted unless you book a days holiday for it and if you’re in agony down the road it can cause you to lose concentration on the road, be a right grumpy ■■■■ to all and sundry and be so tired you just want to pull up for 8 hours shut eye.
How has other lads got on if being down the road and you’ve had either really bad toothache or pains anywhere else? How do the euro lads go on when you are somewhere far away?
Never mind to help with the pain tonight I’ve decided to venture into Witham town centre, have 3 pints of real ale and a couple of Cocodamol, happy days! :smiley:

you should try the emergency dentist mate usually open till late sometimes a drop in service, so the filling as it was cheaper to just have it pulled…

Get some stuff from the chemist something like oil of cloves works well

feel 4 ya m8 not long ago drove from new York to Woodstock n. Brunswick Canada in severe pain infection /root canal went to dentist still open 7pm paid hundred dollars sorted well worth it last resort any hospital help ya 24/7. if in pain stick a asprin crunched up in hole does help short while gd luck

find a late night night chemist or supermarket and ask for some “orajel” .superb stuff,put a small bit on yer finger and rub on on the affected tooth/teeth :sunglasses:

Since when have you gotta book a days holiday for medical treatment. I always thought it was law to let you have the time off??

There is an emergency dentist in most towns, otherwise, just go to an A & E and ask for someone to take it out.

Few years ago I was in agony with impacted wisdom teeth phoned my NHS dentist told it would be 2 weeks. Phoned a private dentist got in following day told gaffer I was coming back to yard that night. Cost me a lot more money but if you’re in that much pain who gives a ■■■■ about cost

Agree mate sod the cost,health comes first ,6 years ago if I hadn’t told my boss I was going home due to been unwell I’d of been dead now :open_mouth:
Health and family first for me I can always get the overtime in for lost pay

Nothing worse than toothache when your tramping, I used to use clove oil, most supermarkets and chemists stock it. It’s in a small bottle but it does smell of the dentist and don’t spill it. Put some on a cloth or your finger and rub it on effected area. It makes you drool like a mad dog but it works. Good luck mate

Phoned emergency dentist, took truck there. Employer has a duty of care so they can’t argue if you do.

Sod that, if I was in pain I’d be oscar mike to the dentist no matter what. Abscess anyone? Side order of blood poisoning? (Not to brick you up dude :slight_smile:
