Anyone have any advice of a dentist EARLY tomorrow. I don't want Sripat Dental centre as have already been in touch with them and no immediate appointments available.

 

Today, an upper back molar has split in half and I am genuinely in a world of pain (previously advised by a UK dentist that it was cracked but told to wait for it to go 'tits up' before seeking treatment). I can walk around tomorrow morning to find a dentist but likely opening 9am or later?

 

I've actually got a UK dentist appointment in 2 weeks time when I am back in the UK for a visit but certainly can't wait until then. I'm not sure whether a temporary patch up would be the best option although I'm more than happy to have the bugger whipped out straight away if it will alleviate the pain.

 

I'm in the Thapae area if anyone has any suggestions or advise? I've taken a couple of co-codamol for tonight which has taken the edge of slightly but I really need to seek a bit of respite from the pain first thing tomorrow.

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and advice. 

Google Pongsakorn Dental Clinic. Not far from Thapae Gate.

 

Excellent dentist. I've been going to see him for 17 years.

Thank you very much for the prompt response - much appreciated. Not too far at all from where I am. I will go there first thing in the morning.

 

Thanks again.

Dental pain has always been the bane of my existence.

 

If life were not such a pleasure for me, then....I might...

Just choose to off myself, due to the dental pain I have experienced in my life.... (this is a joke).

 

Still, I can't think of anything worse than acute dental pain for reaching the pinnacle of pain, in value, on a scale of one to ten.

Really nothing like it.

 

I feel for you, Man!

 

I pray that you get relief FIRST THING,,,,,tomorrow morning.

 

Meanwhile, I also hope you are able to make it through the night.

 

IF the pain gets too bad...then just head on out to Ram Hospital...

And ask for an injection of morphine....

 

YES...I have actually had to do this once before during the past years.

 

They are very understanding at this hospital...by the way.

Yesterday, first thing, I went to see the dentist you recommended. A little trouble finding it initially as Google Maps shows it as being opposite Amora hotel whereas it is actually opposite the end of Loy Kroh Road. Not sure if they have recently moved premises.

 

Anyway, they booked me an appointment for 2pm yesterday. Had an x-ray and the tooth in question was 'condemned'. Had an extraction (with some difficulty as the tooth had a complete vertical split). Lots of pulling and tugging but eventually came out. Mr/Dr. Pongsakorn was excellent - explained everything clearly and in detail (even pointed out a crack in another tooth that might give me problems in the future). Gave me the tooth to show to my dentist in the UK.

 

Total bill 1,000 baht for x-ray, extraction and pain relief. Pain free for the first time in days.

 

An excellent recommendation from yourself so thanks again for responding to my request. 

You're welcome. I'm glad you no longer have any pain.

 

His clinic used to be opposite the Amora hotel, but around 12 years ago. He's been in the current location since then.

We regularly use the dental clinic at Bangkok Hospital, Chiang Mai - not overly expensive, easy to get in.

Thank you to everyone who has replied. Each and every one a really helpful and useful response. Very much appreciated. 

I recommend the Dental Clinic at RAM Hospital. I have tried several and they are the best in my book.
