Well the pain in my wisdom tooth got progressively worse overnight (had me up in tears as I couldn't sleep), woke up and my jaw throat and ear ached, so went to GP and am on amoxycillin now because my wisdom tooth is infected, and am waiting for the dental clinic to give me a call back today. OUCHIES!

Got an appointment on April 11 at the clinic at the hospital (yay for having a HCC!).

I have been putting off going to the dentist because its just so expensive, and then my GP said that the dental clinic takes pregnant woman straight away, and that I would defiantely get in straight away with the infection... I was stoked with april though, I half expected it to be September or something!!! I knew someone who was on the waiting list for 4 years!!!!!!!!
