More tooth drama
Its really getting bad now. I was up all night with my tooth absolutely killing me.
It used to hurt for like 10 minutes then go away, not this time. I was an inch away from tears. The whole side of my face is killing me. Around 3 a.m. my husband made me an ice pack. I slept on that--when i would try to move i would wake up and it would start pounding again. Now if have a couple of guys who want to squeeze me into their dds because he does everything. my dds doesnt do back molars root canals. im so confused and hurting so much. My cheekbone hurts and the left side of my nose. i did start taking the antibiotics last night. The reason why i want it pulled is because i just want it done and overwith. i dont want to have to keep going back, get referred to someone else, etc. it hurts so bad... thanks for letting me vent --boo hoo
vent away fire.
Wow that sucks. The antibiotics should make a difference while you are waiting to get in to the dentist. Have you tried any of that over the counter stuff like Oral-Gel? It may help some. If the dentist does a root canal right, you should not have any more pain. They deaden the nerve. Although, if you have an abcess or any other kind of infection they may treat you with AB before they do anything. I feel bad for you, and I hope you feel better soon.

I feel your pain, been there, and had the tooth pulled just so I wouldn't have to keep going back....
Seems there is nothing worse then when your teeth hurt,
I hope you can get in to see someone today for your sanity,
Hope to hear you are feeling better later on today...

Fireside,
I know this pain. You have to go somewhere fast, you need antibiotics, pobably have an infection....and yeah root canal, or the tooth pulled. If you go root canal, once they do it the pain is gone, nothing, maybe a bit sore. I had that damn pain, up to my eye, in my ear. It about drove me nuts.
Try biting down on an asprin, right on the tooth that hurts. It might help of the pain......Taste nasty sorry but if it works you might get some relief.
I hope that you can get this fixed and fast.....
Love,
Tina

Not that I can remember...I know I felt much better, and walked around with cotton in my mouth for a few hours...was not given anything for pain except told to take OTC pain aide if needed....
One day I tell my self Iwill have a new tooth put in, but since it is at the back of mymouth..I don't worry about being vein for now..
Good luck

Hey fire,
I had forgotten about the oralgel, someone mentioned it, I kept it on my gum, it doesn't last long so keep putting on there, ask the pharmacist which is the strongest they sell, ice, and Ibuprofen, until he pulled it. I slathered it every where around the pain area. Ibuprofen 800 mg at a pop, (make sure you eat something first) three times a day (per my dentist) .
Also, I would gargle/swish with as hot as I could stand it water/salt.
Also, not sure if your dentist has this, but mine has the long acting novocaine shot, I am assuming it was novocaine , I think he said 8 hours but not sure about the time. It numbed my whole face.
Pulling the tooth is clearly up to you, but like I said, if mine wasn't in the back I would have gone through the surgery. He was not big on pulling it, gave me the pros/cons I said pull it. No pain meds were needed. I went back the next day to get another long acting shot, then I was good to go.
I feel your pain. No fun.

Fire,
Orajel helped me too. And ask the dds for a shot of novacaine right when you are raedy to leave and take an advil before it wears off. I've done that and there was no pain at all.
Hang in there....

ooooh fireeesiggn,
Honey..YOU NEED AN O AND D ( open and drain ) Its hurting more because the pulpis dying and bacteria is GROWING
Weve been through this on you oyyyy my tooth thread........it wonjt get better till you go and have the tooth opened ( ANTIBIOTICS can reduce the pressure by killing the bacteria)
Im sorry your hurting hon...tooth pain can really REALLY hurt
BUT Please PLEASE dont get it pulled if its otherwise healthy and has good
bone support. You will regret it so much. ( IF your dentist WOULD do that and to be honest, Id wish someone report him to the College of Dental Surgeons if he'd do that to a perfectly otherwise good tooth....cant IMAGINE he would)
Your call...I know you WANT it pulled........part of tht is pain talking
See your dentist STAT.

P.S.
Oragel extra stregth will hyelp numb it till you get there
Dont want to scare you but you should kknow that a "Dry Socket" is comparable to childbirth and happens from an extraction where you loose the blood clot in the bottom ( sucking on straws, rinsing vigourously are NO-NOs after and extraction)
Pulling a tooth should only be done if there is no bone structure and its flapping around in the wind anyway............or cant be saved .....
Sorrry,,,,,guess this is my passion......lololo
I wont post on the matter again unless you ask.

Im not going to freak you out again Fire, lol I just want to say, I might try to go to the ER if you can't stand it. I went in once and the doctor gave me a shot of novacaine. He happened to be a MD plus a DDS but would think alot of doctors could do it too.
Ooops, Is shot a trigger word for pain?
Sorry, I know how you feel though, so much pressure that you just want it OUT..

Hey firesign,

Mine is on call for weekend, night emergencies. This is clearly one.

Sweethear...if it has a 3/4 filling on it AND it has full bone support..( doesnt have mobility)
Its still a good tooth.
Anytime you need a filling changed, you loose some more tooth structure though...and thats why you MAY need a crown later...
Its the bone support that counts...and the infection that is growing inthere has to be dealt with ( O&D) so it can escape, and the pressure and pain can subside.
They will take out the nerve and probably put in some soothingZinc Oxide Eugeunal....that will calm your tooth down..a temp filling will go into the hole they used to access the canals...( tiny little hole on the top of your tooth) They make this how right through a crown if you had one in place already..
Once the nerve is out and the infection cleaned out, it canbe filled..the fill the actual canals that once sent blood supply and nouriment to yur tooth with something rubbery called Gutta Percha...they push it down nice and tight so that there is no air pockets, and melt off the ends ..
Your back teeth have 4 roots, your very front only one and your bi-cuspids have 2...ususally though, everyone has some oddball roots...lolol
Its hard to be in pain and in the old days....theyd yank it out..now we know better.
If theres good bone support, and isnt a matter of a long shot ( tooth broken below the gumline or rotten down below the gumline) the tooth should be fine.
Economics also play into people decision to pull.
Hopefully you will have dental insurance, if not talk to your dentist about making payments....all dentists i know would rather take payments than pull a perfectly sound tooth.
Let me know how it goes on monday
meantime use the Ambesol extra strength...its the samw sorta thing the dentists use for topical anesthetic before the give you the...well you know.lolo
