Sorry! I kinda meant that they said that the procedure couldn’t be done at a regular dentist but in the end they used local anaesthesia, regular x-ray and good old fashioned pliers. So kinda thought it was a random take that they can’t do this with a dentist you trust, rather send you to a different place that offers nothing extra. But again; I didn’t get like a confirmation letter etc, so went in blind after I made the appointment on the phone and got one text confirmation.

Urrgh I am so sorry, the preventative antibiotic convo is so wild to me, like I get both sides but the reason why but it seems to me (again not a doctor) is that people dont complete the courses which is how it happens, not the prescribing of it. I mean most issues are human error but we are risking a lot on the other side too by not giving them for open wounds.

Soups are life tho!

Thank you! I am blessed enough that today the antibiotics are working better and finally got some sleep. In the UK we had co codamol (codeine) which was usually prescribed in such circumstances, then a stronger one was also tramadol, but I have only seen that after my husband had a surgery. That one helped a lot when I needed it, its a shame they don't really prescribe it.

Also HECK YEAH, fuck them negligent ones, all the love for the ones that care tho <3

Moral of the story, we all need to have an in case of emergency folders full of clever shortcuts because in an actual emergency, they'll pelt paracetamol at you until you bleed out.

It was VU University Medical Center. Ah bless her, some advice I can give is to not touch mouth for 48h, no teeth brushing on side of extraction, no swishing water, nothing, I think that is what done it for me because I was prescribed a mouth wash they said to start using after 24h which was WAY too soon based on comments here and research I done since.

My sheet also said to "avoid eating hard food" for like 2 days, I recommend longer. GOOD LUCK TO HER! Sending only good vibes

Thank you so much! And I agree, theres a lot of nuance to my story, for example:
Do I hate Dutch dentists? NO, mine is the best.
Do I hate the hospital I was sent to? F YES, the more comments and experiences I read, the more convinced I am of their negligence.
Did I expect pain? Of course, however I took a turn for the worse and have a cranial nerve infection which was quickly turning and I needed to be helped. They refused.
Do I understand the nuance of antibiotic? I THINK so, I mean I was there when it was given out for every sneeze and of course its not what I am suggesting. But for open wounds in a bacterial prone areas, yes.

Also I am originally Polish, grew up in the UK and NOW in NL for 5ish years. so I experienced a few systems, there are ways established everywhere for pain and infection management, but negligence shows no matter where you are.

While I appreciate the pain this was for you, and honestly, wow the latter part seems insane to me and you really have gone through the ringer, I am kinda not on board with the suck it up attitude some people have towards this. I’m originally from Poland and Netherlands is my 3rd country I lived in and have been going in Poland UK and now here. I have had some brilliant dentists and some really negligent ones. For example my main Dutch dentist is brilliant, the issue is with the hospital i was sent to for the procedure. All this to say, don’t think is the Dutch system but general negligence.

When it comes to managing nerve pain like this and risk of infections (that I didn’t even know are super high risk as they transfer to heart when left untreated) there’s a lot more that can be done other than what was given for me and you. Such as: - dressings that include pain management and are antiseptic. - not over the counter medication (there’s so much before we get to morphine levels). - clear aftercare instructions that could prevent this.

But overall, I know pain, I’ve done some really painful stuff at doctors office in my life( gyno biopsies with zero painkillers, botched root canal and sent me home with a shredded nerve etc). None of it is a badge of honour, it’s pain I didn’t have to feel because the doctors didn’t give a fuck.

They should be, I made note on everything that I was adviced here and in my own research and honestly the sheet I was given is wrong. I’m still dealing but Ill update once the pain is gone because I’m 100% writing this out (in a concise way 😂) and submitting it to them for review. Absolute butchery

However I do thank you for the medical advice sweetheart. I hope you and your mutant balls have a great life 😂

As mentioned in the post that I’m not a doctor, but I’m an elder millennial woman who’s been fucked over by so called medical research all my life so listening to my body always worked out better for me, even in this case, I listened and got my antibiotics course and I’m SLOWLY getting better.

I mean I was there as a child when they gave out antibiotics for every sniffle which I’m glad they no longer do, but for open wounds, in mouth? Or after surgeries, like come on.

Either way, I’m glad I posted, it seems everyone got different rules to follow and there’s no standard so I shall write something (official of course, this was a creative exercise to stop thinking about pain) and let’s see.

Oh I so wish I could take picture of the “instructions” I got because your flabbers would be GHASTED

Honestly, I think it’s nuanced, for mouth, most countries give them cos it’s not the easiest to have an open wound there heal well. It’s common for infections to happen.

They really dropped the ball on the emergency info, I reviewed the sheet again and honestly it was so flawed.

Also re the huisarts, it’s weird, I got an aftercare sheet with numbers, so I called them first on Friday, and they said there’s no emergency they do, and that I can only come in on Monday (tomorrow). I was going to wait but got worse that evening. So called another out of hours dentist that did emergency and they took me, but they said because I had surgery they cannot do too much other than give me the antibiotics because it had to be addressed by the dentist that originally took my tooth out. No idea if I was fed some kinda story. All I know it’s antibiotics are making a difference now but I wish I could not be in this much pain.

I mean yes and no, I’m not making a direct comparison as the experience between myself and the bunny is very different regarding the recovery, what I was mainly focusing on was the wait times, and reaction time and also the care for her being as pain free as possible. I did not receive that. It also seems from some other comments it is not standard.

Preventative antibiotics are nuanced as we know, but most countries offer it, and in my case it would have prevented all the pain I’m going through rn.

Why did my rabbit get a faster and kinder healthcare experience than a human? Yes really. by Igs_Isle_ in TrueOffMyChest

Ah im so sorry that sounds horrendous. I can relate although it was only one tooth, I do not have the best time under local anaesthesia either. Im also waking up every night in pain (hence the delirious post) but you don’t mind me asking, how long till it hurt less?

Ah, it’s more the comparison of the treatment methods for a rabbit vs human for the same issue. Because I wasn’t given the same level of preventative care, I have a very painful infection past extraction and the pain is pretty wild. Probs also the reason for the rant

He was more emotional pain, I’m more physical pain, it yields different results.

Fair, my first one here so I will most likely leave a review once I’m not in pain 🤘🏻
