    Hey @Shaunie

    Just wanted to check in and see how you are doing? :heart:

    Thank yous. Thought i would hear by them by now but I haven’t. But I think I need my wisdom teeth off first and see if I still feel the same.

    I need to get my wisdom teeth removed out first i think.

    But it doesn’t say how you pay monthly where am I supposed to throw £3,405 from? When I need to pay for my wisdom teeth aswel. I’m so stressed

    Now you know private will see you maybe it’s worth waiting for your NHs appointment in September to see if there remove it so then if they say yes you save money , if they say no you're got private to fall back on And gives you chance to save some more money ?

    I was also looking into wisdom tooth removal last night and not sure if you read one of the extremely common side effects is something called dry socket which actually causes bad breathe . If you think it is your teeth maybe you could try some anti bacterial mouthwash as those tend to work really well as it can get all the way around the tooth where the brush can’t
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    That’s a good idea. But because they have contacted my gp do you think they would of cancelled the appointment thinking I’m getting the surgery so no point for the appointment?

    I’m not sure tbh , maybe ring and check ? I don’t see why they would cancel the appointment without getting in touch with you first

    Hi @Shaunie bless your heart, I can only imagine what a difficult situation that must be, but you are doing amazingly in looking for the cause!
    Sometimes finding what is causing a problem can take a while (if it's any consolation, it took me a good two years to figure out which types of foods were giving me a lot of digestive and vomit-based problems😂that was not fun😂). But in searching for what it is, you are doing exactly what you need to do :3

    From what I can gather, its about trying to find the cause of the smell? I agree with @Millie2787 about mouthwash because that might help, maybe flossing, and brushing your tongue too is important because a lot of smelly bacteria lives in your tongue! (Though I'm aware you might already do these!) I've also found some antibacterial soaps helpful with bad breath; some soaps are designed for it and have peppermint flavours, which is quite cool!

    Also, as there's an emphasis on the tonsils, is there a particular reason for that? Do you have any white lumps of bacteria stuck in your tonsils? My sister had her tonsils removed for that reason!

    Hopefully I can help you feel supported as you work through this; I'm always here if you want a chat! :3 You've got this! :3

    Hi Shaunie, I’m sorry things are so tough right now. Sending you love. I hope you are keeping yourself safe tonight?
    I think it sounds like it would be worth ringing your gp to check you still have an appointment booked for September, may help put your mind at ease a bit. When’s the dentist appt?

    💜 good luck Shaunie let us know how it goes
  • SienaSiena Posts: 15,688 Skive's The Limit
    The dentist I wa supposed to be at was only 5 mins walk thankfully

    Said there’s nothing wrong with t teeth or wisdom teeth that they’d need to be removed.

    Kept using words I couldn’t understand and wasn’t explaining them. Told me the nhs does it wisdom teeth removal. And I’m just thinking yeah I know nhs does check up to but you know how hard it is to even find that. That’s why im private and if you hesitate to take my wisdom teeth out. They definitely won’t. So that was proper confusing. Said the bottom ones are connected to a nerve so can be dangerous to do if not necessary when the top wisdom teeth are easy to take out

    I am so glad to hear that the surgery has now been arranged. I can see that it has been a really long, stressful and difficult process. I really hope that things do get better afterwards. 17th September is only another 26 days away.
