A member asked:
Dentist gave dihydrocodeine(must wait 4 months for removal of decayed tooth)but in constant agony, no relief from para/ibu/or those prescribed. help ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Find another dentist: Or an oral surgeon. I can't imagine a 4 months wait for a reason other than your dentist is overloaded or you can't pay and he's helping out of the goodness of his heart.
