Received a letter from my local hospital this morning asking me to phone them to make an appointment to see a consultant in the Oral Surgery department.
Unfortunately there won’t be any appointments available until September.
So going to have to endure a little more pain as I wait for an appointment.
In my post earlier today I said that I was off to Birmingham Dental Hospital to have a plastic appliance fitted. I was correct in thinking it would look like gum shield.
Unfortunately despite having accurate impressions of my teeth the appliance wouldn’t fit properly, so another impression was taken and I will return on 16th July to have it fitted.
The dentist was also worried that one of my teeth near where the plate in my jaw is was infected, so I had to have the plate x-rayed, couldn’t see any infection, but going to make sure for when I return.
It was too hot to do much else, so it was a quick trip to Burger King and a look in HMV and Borders before jumping on the train home.

As you are probably aware today I had another appointment at Birmingham Dental Hospital. I’ve got to go back next Thursday, 2nd July to have a plastic appliance fitted to widen my bite, to see if I can tolerate having it widened to have false teeth fitted.
Things are slowly moving on.
