    The dentist (again)

    February 4, 2016 in Argentina ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

    Having been to the dentist 4 times in the past 3 weeks in London... Lisa's teeth sprung a brand new problem the day before we left. It has been getting worse and progressed to pain on swallowing & reduced hearing. Luckily we had a recommendation for a dentist & an hour later (whole consultation in Spanish) we had a diagnosis of an infected wisdom tooth. We dismissed the two surgical options (the dentist agreed operating now was a big risk) and instead left with antibiotics & mouth washes. Clare now has to 'irrigate' the area with a chlorhexedine syringe every day. Yey! That'll be fun camping. Clare had to go to the pharmacy all by herself & buy the prescription in (pigeon) spanish! Not quite the adventure we had in mind.Read more
