is there anywhere at all that can take him at this time of night???

he hasnt got a dentist and nhs24 havent called back. bad thing is - we are very low in cash right now

[karbon14]

like most other threads in here. call nhs24 and they'll be able to tell you.

[Metalcherry]

done that and no one is calling back
we have tried solpadine max, crushed paracetamol, brushed teeth, clove oil and its getting worse

can you take people up to hospital or something if it gets that bad?

In Edinburgh there's a 24 hr NHS clinic in town, you can just turn up.

I thought the Dental Hospital in Sauchiehall St had a similar service, but I'm not sure..

Yeah, phone the hospital up. You might only get stronger painkillers though.
The western infirmary has always been a great help after doctors closing hours.

And em, if NHS24 were meant to get back to you and haven't yet then maybe phone them up again?

[Metalcherry]

just gona give them a call back again - it seems to getting a lot worse now

might give western a call soon to see if they can do anything

thanksi x

Dentist at 10:20 tommorrow. On the upside, the pain has calmed down a little bit now. Thanks for the advice folks

Cannot be assed reading this entire thread, but did you get private care for you filling (i.e. white)? In my experience, that type is way more painful, especially if you have a fracture in the tooth (generally not diagnosed by dentist).
