Been in severe dental pain for 5 days now .............

I have taken so many pain killers that I can no longer see straight .....

I have had pain with Hot and Cold on a tooth for a few months - hoped it would settle, looks like its flared up now big time.

Was a thread here a few weeks ago with reference to dental pain ... what was the best pain killer???

Before I top myself!? ............. dentists aren't open until Tuesday and then theres no guarantee I will get in (I bet everyone has been pulling fillings out over the Xmas break!?)

Not being flippant, PS, but a good slug of whisky or similar spirit will work wonders.

paul-s

rub some of the columbian stuff on it

The Rani

.... followed by a nice shot of brandy - works wonders

Cocodomol TOGETHER with neurofen mate

One is paracetomol based and the other is ibuprofen to help the swelling, take 2 of each.

The best advice is to go out and do something, anything at all just to take your mind off the "pain" you big pansy.

pslewis

Thanks all ................ just had a shot of Whisky although I hate it!!

Dental pain is the worst kind of pain I know!!

pansy

pslewis

Yes, I know!!

What happened in the 'olden times'? They must have suffered badly - or did they keep their teeth (bearing in mind they all died at 30?)

Pete

String and door **** or mate with a pair of pliers spring to mind

swill the whisky around the area for about 2 mins, it tastes bloody awful, and feels nasty, but it does work, needless to say dont drive

The Rani

Brandy's better ! (Can't stand either of 'em normally!)

Pete, Thanks for the Gaultier, lovely
Whiskey, on a cotton wool pad, direct onto the tooth, press on hard.
Tomorrow, when shops are open, get some "Oil of Cloves"

pslewis

It's a funny thing ............ the tooth isn't hurting as such - it seems to be the gum around it/nerve as the pain shoots right up into my eye! ? I think the nerve is exposed to be honest .... think there is a hole or crack in the tooth

Pete

The Rani

You haven't got a bit of food or something stuck in the hole, have you? That usually makes it far worse.

Lee247

Pete, can you not get emergency Dental treatment???

When you go to the dentist, make sure they do what you ask. I asked for a tooth to be completey removed and replaced after I cracked it (left rear molar). The dentist insisted that he could clear it out and cap/fill it with no issues. To date I have nerve pain every time I eat something sweet or hot or cold and press down on it hard.
Not too happy, but I never pursued it to get it fixed so can't complain too much.

I am going to get all of my wisdom teeth removed soon as they are all growing through and pressing forward against my other teeth. They are running out of antibiotics to give me every time I get an abcess and as such have advised me to get them removed instead of going through the antibiotic list again.

Do you not live in civilisation?

Up here in Greenland, the dental hospital is open for business.....

The Rani

Nearly had heart failure at that site - one of the blokes on there looked like my first husband to the point where I had to click on the pic even though the name was different.

pslewis

I suppose so ............. where do I look for that?

Pete

The Rani

Phone book or local paper

antibacterial mouthwash will get rid of the pain

Little Miss WRX

It doesn't work for me.

Aaquil who is a member on here is also a dentist and advised me to rub a bit of Sensodyne style toothpaste onto my gums every day. That certainly provided a bit of relief.

The Rani

Sensodyne doesn't work for me. Teeth are too sensitive even for that stuff.

The Rani

..... or if your local hospital has got an A&E, try there. They probably won't take your tooth out but they should be able to give you something half decent for the pain.

SCOsazOBY

i bought this alcohol type liquid from the chemists and swizzled mouthwash when my wizdom teeth where coming through

i even managed to get myself a job as i wasnt my usual nervous self at the interview because i was too concerned about the pain in my mouth whilst talking funny

The Rani

Or just swig some more brandy whilst catching the Pogues on the box - that should put you off your toothache on its own

paulr

Pete,get some gold crowns,we know how you like all things gold.........

Teeth?? wtf are teeth??

seriously pete, get the scoob out, and drive round to you local chemist, on the door or window will be a list of duty chemists, and emergrency dental treatment places.

our local hospital has an emergency evening clinic, you have to pay though but they will see you if you get a slot. usually 10-15 slots an evening.

if its a hole, get some tempory tooth filing and whap it in there. get some bonjella and whack it on the gum and tooth, works wonders, and if all else fails, get down to your local a&E they may not be able to remove, but they may be able to look after the pain


Mart look at all those teeth

You might have an absess under tooth and that will be sorted by antibiotics and then dentist will look for cause like food trap area. My non-medic advice is to take some if you have any left in a drawer somewhere and if not get to A&E and I expect they will give you some. I am always getting these damn things and that is what my retired dentist wife tells me off the record. dl
