Hi barryd .barryd said:I dont believe my luck. Just three days away from our trip of a life time (10 weeks in Europe) I have started to get tooth ache. Not sure which tooth it is as it seems to move from the top to the bottom. Its not bad just niggling although it kept me awake a bit last night. Tried calling my dentist on his mobile, no answer. His surgery isnt open until Tuesday and we are booked on the 7:45 Ferry from Dover on Tuesday morning, travelling down to Dover on Monday.
I could re-schedule the ferry and try to see someone here on Monday or my dentist on Tuesday (Hopefully) or just leave it and get it seen to in France. I have heard that treatment in France is not only cheaper but better.
What do you think?
If you feel any pain I think the word "Ouch" is the same in French. 8)barryd said:Perhaps they may cure my phobia of Dentists. When I was a kid a dentist gave me a filling and trapped a nerve, I was in agony for 24 hours and then some other idiot pulled the wrong tooth out so as you can imagine I now have reservations about Dentists!
Cant say I am looking forward to it but you have put my mind at rest.
I think many brits have a phobia of being treated abroad for medical problems but it probably should be the other way around. In the 90's just after Michelle and I got married she took ill in a restaraunt in Kefalonia and collapsed. The owner took us in a taxi to an imaculate hospital where she was seen and treated immediatly. Turned out her blood pressure was low and they sorted her very quickly and made sure we got back ok to our appartment. No bills or questions asked.
Thankyou
