|
Does anyone know of a dentists I can get seen at tomorrow?
I have pus coming out of the top of an old milk tooth and it has developed a crack down the middle. No pain, just sensitivity on the top of the tooth and gum line. could feel pus popping when I squeezed the outside of my gum.
Just noticed, it looks like a quarter of the tooth is cracking off.
If not tomorrow, is it plausible to get seen to on Monday?
I'm in Cheonan. Don't want to leave it to develop into something more serious really.
Had to happen on this day of all days  I went to the dentist a week ago because it had bled a little bit and he said its probably ok for the meantime...doh.

Blimey...I'm quite worried it might become more infected. Not good.
What happened with yours? |

Monday, possible. I feel for you. My teeth have been acting up a little for me. If push comes to shove, check out hospitals. Sometimes they have a dental area. Maybe even a dental hospital. But you will be paying more.
Good Luck |

Yeah my local hospital Dangook doesn't seem to have a dental part AFAIK and it's so late I'm pretty sure it's only going to be A and E at this time. Monday at the moment seems doable, just going to have to see how it goes overnight...
Just tried ringing the emergency number and foreigner number they provide...both no answer. Ugh. |

LOL
To be fair it is a baby tooth that had no adult tooth underneath it, so it's served me well for over thirty years! |

| If you can't find a dentist, you can go to a hospital for antibiotics. If there is pus, then there's an infection and they can at least start you on antibiotics to hold you until a dentist office opens. Good luck. |

| Suck it up buttercup and fight through it. Tooth pain and infection will go away over a matter of days. I've had tons of it,even as recently as last weekend.I was out of service for 3 days because of an infectted wisdom tooth. You'll have to get it dealt with eventually, but in the mean time,fight through it and you'll start feeling better soon. |

Hey Kimchi,
I was just eating a chicken tender from BHC on my way to watch a play being put on by my students and BAM! I felt a crack, no pain, just a solid, clean break. It was the molar all the way in the back on the bottom. I guess that one part of the tender was just a little too crispy! No blood, no pus, been eating fine. It had a filling in it, a very old one I believe. Maybe it's just dead? No idea, I'm going to go tomorrow and see if they are available. Yours sounds much more serious, You might need a root canal or just yank it..
Good Luck! |

Did your tooth crack open?
I'm ok, just don't want to leave it longer than necessary. |

If the tooth was grey that's a sign it's dead. I've got no pain aside from when something contacts the tooth...mine is long dead...it cracked along the filling too. |
