Called 111 after failing to connect with the Plymouth Out of Hours service which apparently had been down all day . I live in Plymouth.
Had acute pain and thought it was tooth as I had bitten on Granary bread with ensuing bad reaction 5 days before. Despite taking Ibruprofen pain was getting worse up right hand side of face . Had tried local dentist for early appointment the week before but only slot they could do was 7 days later . Despite X-Ray taken at Heavitree on a Sunday nothing conclusive e.g Hairline crack causing infection was seen.
It was decided NOT to do anything until seen dentist in a couple of days. Really professional dentist and assistant at Heavitree said could be an internal crack but rather than risk digging out or removing tooth best to wait as nothing showed on X Ray.
Importantly :
Also 7 days before had been canoeing and had a spill and took in seawater up nose - I can only now conclude that this was actually a severe sinusitis infection that also caused me to think (Ass U Me ) it was the Tooth problem. The service provided at Heavitree I cannot praise highly enough and thoroughly recommend .
I was very anxious and emotional, the dentist and nurse were amazing, they kept asking if I was alright and i thought they were very kind and understanding.
The team are doing such a great job during these crazy times.
I told them I'd be clapping for them all tonight at 8pm
Huge shout out to the NHS Dental Team
