Not very car related but since moving here ive never needed to visit the dentist (something I absolutely hate doing) however at the F1 in November (see related it to cars!) being a drunken idiot and falling over a wall I shattered a tooth, now fortunately its given me no issues till about 2 nights ago.

Last night could hardly sleep and I really cant take anymore pain killers as im right on the limits of whats going to cause me issues.

So reality, I must go and get my mouth drilled open, anyone got any personal suggestions on who to use?

Thanks in advance.

Many thanks for the replies, one issue which having checked the Dubai London clinic's site they don't accept Al Futtaims health insurance, bloomin typical.

Having searched all morning ive finally found the al futtaim authorised lists of dental practices, non of which fill me with any confidence.

Will sort out an appointment at Dubai London clinic.

Cheers Shirt and Chilli neither are on the list!

The list is very much karama, satwa, deira based. I know why no one will have them on the list as they are a nightmare to pay anyone.

I need to find one here as well... my only issue is that is has to be one who can do a general anaesthetic as I cannot cope with anyone poking around in my mouth at all.
Yeah im not a fan of that either! Its when needles come out that I totally brick it.

Went to see Dr Evan today, pleasant guy and very professional, regrettably my tooths heavily infected so a week of antibiotics then I need surgery to remove it, not idea!!

Pah, Bamby would have sorted it there and then!

Seriously, good luck with that...sounds nasty.
Haha I wasn't expecting so many recommendations, time was an issue so went with the first one lol.

Yeah its not great, in a s*it load of pain but need to wait for the drugs to work. My own fault I shouldn't have left it for so long after breaking it.
