About 2 weeks ago I was having a sandwich made with Granary bread.
I took a bite and an angonising pain shot through my face upwards past my nose,I was in agony.
I had bitten a very hard seed that had dislodged a filling in my front tooth and caused my front teeth to bang together.
after a very painful night I went to the dentist and he did an X ray,my front tooth was very loose and he thought that it might be dead although there was no fracture,another possibility was that the nerve had died.
I had to make another appointment for today when the front tooth had settled down.
In the past 2 weeks an abcess had appeared right at the nerve ending in my face,so today it was drain the abcess and pack the cavity through my tooth with antiseptic.This will last 4 weeks until i come from holiday and then the work begins to restore my tooth.
All of this because of a granary bread sandwich.
Now the amusing bit,at the end of my treatment the nurse said Robert(my dentist) had treatment yesterday.He had bitten into a granary bread sandwich and broken his tooth.
