      Then wait until you're back if your obvious prejudice prevents you from seeking treatment where you are.

      That is the preferred option. Alas my own tooth quack indicated that this is a very serious matter that has been known to be fatal if left unchecked. He stressed the danger of delay indicating septicemia, streptococcal infection, oedema and a host of other happy outcomes. My 'prejudice' as you put it is not racist, simply that if I wanted a second rate service offering third world levels of dentistry I would use the NHS. I pay for private treatment, and have got used to the accoutrements associated with it.

        1. Get an alveolar abscess. Thats it. Seriously, the side of my face has swollen up like the elephant man and the pain is excrutiating. I contacted my dentist in Blighty for an emergency appointment upon my return on Monday and he said to seek immediate treatment. I have no idea what kind of ju ju will be performed here, but I shall bring a black cockeral and a lock of hair with me just in case.

        That's too bad. I have myself a dentist appointment next Tuesday, it's just for cleaning, but still I don't like dentists visits. Is Jamaica a place to go to otherwise?

        The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

          Your not an animal! Make sure you use a Dentist recommended by your embassy, the staff there has been through something similar I'm sure. Here's a list [^] from the American embassy of medical facilities which includes dentists. A nice round of antibiotics and some pain pills will get you through 'til Monday. Good luck.

          It was broke, so I fixed it.

              Well at least that is some improvement...... :rolleyes: :laugh: Start swilling salt water and then vodka to numb the pain and powder up aspirin and rub it into the gums. I hate the dentist, so rather you than me...

                  Strictly speaking, that isn't racism. It is merely a prejudice formed on the generalization that all Jamaicans practice voodoo. I'm sure if DD saw a white person performing voodoo he would have the same level of disdain for them as he would for a black person performing voodoo...

                      As my grandma always said: "God pays his debts without money". I'm sure that your heroine of the 1980s, who has no doubt been consigned to somewhere even warmer than where you are now, will also attest to this.

                                  Do you smell like a CB400? I've heard that an abscess makes the fart go Honda.

                                          1. Get an alveolar abscess. Thats it. Seriously, the side of my face has swollen up like the elephant man and the pain is excrutiating. I contacted my dentist in Blighty for an emergency appointment upon my return on Monday and he said to seek immediate treatment. I have no idea what kind of ju ju will be performed here, but I shall bring a black cockeral and a lock of hair with me just in case. Third world dentistry is not something one should have to suffer through.

                                          Sounds to me that you should never travel to 3rd world countries. There are also the other risks, like the doctors, the police, the jails, etc....
