Well 36 hours later and all is well, just a little sore where the tooth was removed, now able to eat okay, the worst part was getting the tooth numb enough, took a few goes, the actual removal took about 30 seconds, but it's done now.
Our current dentist is one of the best we have ever had, it is a husband and wife business and will only do private work if you are registered with them as a NHS patient.
He happened to notice a small hole in a crown next to the removed tooth, so he fixed that at the same time while I was still numb and it cost me just under £50
