The Infected Tooth

[Guest]

Two days into the trip I realised that a molar due for extraction next month had become infected.
I had crossed the border into SA and realising that without an anti-biotic it would quickly get worse.
I happened to be passing through a small town on the river when I noticed the Tailem Bend Regional Hospital
It was 8:30am; I had an hour to wait for the doctor to arrive so there was plenty of time to shoot a few pictures.

This will be the final set of a 2,000 km, 6 day round trip to Adelaide.

OM, Andrew - sometimes toothache pays off.

Great shots while you waited! Hope the tooth is OK.

Thanks Amanda. I finished the course of anti-biotic last night and the infection has cleared. I'll contact my dentist today to see if I can get an earlier apt to have it out lest it infects again. Yes, had it not been for the tooth issue these shots would not have been taken.

Hmmm, just had to book myself in as I have cracked a tooth at the back and its left a sharp edge.

That's exactly my problem also, OM.
I have three weeks to wait for an appt.
