James, you have my sympathies too.

I had a nagging pain , earlier this year, under a rear lower molar for a few months. Had to go to the dentist when I got an abcess under a front upper tooth (incisor?) . 40 euros for an Xray which showed THREE abcesses (the rear molar, front upper and another I was unaware of). Antibiotics 9 euros, come back in a week and I will whip that molar out- you don't need it for eating he said. Two injections as when he started I could still feel it, came out easy enough. 40 more euros. No trouble since except I get peanuts etc stuck in the hole. Excellent dentist, no NHS here and reasonable prices.

I do hope you get it sorted.

At those prices it's worth a cheap flight over even if it's Ryan Air

OUCH...

Laura often has similar issues where the anaesthetic doesnt take, and has had issues with the Dentists not beleiving her as they have put that much in.

Anyway, there is a halfway house that sounds perfect...

Most County's have dental clinics, at these they can do what they need to, with a middle of the road treatment - Intravenous Sedation.  Basically an injection which 'almost' knocks you out, but not quite.
I, for example had this to have my wisdom teeth taken out, as far as I remember, I slept through it!
Its for things that dont require GA, but the dentist cant do with normal methods.

May be worth a phone call to see if its an option

  Hells bells m8, I would not be using that dentist cos whatever the problem he/she should have been able to numb it and get it sorted.
I too had a really bad one and the pratt ended up breaking my jaw in two places. I was in agony fpr a week and went to the A&E where they took out 4 lumps of root he had missed! Changed my dentist and its been no hassle ever since. BUT I do go for every checkup!
Try another dentist even if it means you have to travel.....I am sure there are local oofers who can name one if you ask.
Best wishes m8, nothing like a bad tooth to cause pain.

Have it whipped out james , mashed potato and beans aint that bad  dental pain is the worst pain ever and ive had every one took out that caused grief second time around . Eating meat just takes longer to chew but pain free is heaven

it is NOT unusual for a dentist to not be able to numb some people,as i need to attend hospital when a tooth need work as the sedation is the way to go,but you are not a sleep at all....you just don't what is going on,although you think you are a sleep you are not,but if you have it done don't go on your own as you might find as soon as fresh air hit you your legs go

I've been having root canal treatment since May. Seven visits to date and still my tooth hurts like buggery...

I'd change my dentist, but my current one is gorgeous.

Meanwhile she gets to see you gagging on burnt splinters of tooth and a mouthful of spittle which despite your best efforts is dribbling out of the corner of your mouth........

Had the same James, been twice and neither time the xylocaine worked despite 4 barrels of it, even my frickin arse was numb

Last temp filling has just popped out so it could be third time lucky

By the way the sedation stuff they use is an amnesic, you just remember nothing about it. We used to do gastroscopies using it and all the housewives would tell you their deepest secrets such as: I'm shagging my husbands best mate, I let my labrador lick my lady bits ( both 100% true ). Was the best part of the job

Got to admit my body has a real problem with dental anaesthetic.
Basicly it just not seem too work on me and when they crank the dose right up, it knocks me back to the point that im like a zombie for a couple of days. I haven't seen a dentist in over 25 years 
They really scare the poo out of me 

same here the anaesthetic has little or no effect, even if they give me two or three jabs and a wait in the waiting room,

even general anaesthetic only knocks me out for a short time,

the dentist knows this and just drills anyway.

FWIW James, I had root canal treatment a few years ago -£800 odd IIRC- after about 18 months the tooth broke and had to be removed. " Oh yes" said my NHS dentist (who recommended the expensive treatment),"they often break when the nerve is dead" !
