Some Thoughts:
- When you have a tooth ache everything else takes second place.
- Oh, and the tooth ache always happens on a bank holiday weekend, to ensure maximum pain, and remind you to go to the bloody dentist more often!
- Vodka, rubbed onto the infected gum/teeth is a god-send for pain relief. It lasts almost 3 hours and it’ll let you get some measure of rest at night.
- Have an understanding partner who’ll take care of you and fuss over you.
- Brush, floss and see your dentist more often.
- Brush, floss and see your dentist more often.
- Brush, floss and see your dentist more often.
- Brush, floss and see your dentist more often.
I’ll probably have to get a root-canal next week, the tooth is dead so hopefully it won’t be too sore. (I’m not too hopeful though..)

I am 8 months pregnant and my teeth are falling apart — apparently, gums are receding and the nerves are exposed. Ironically, part of the problem is that I took brushing my teeth too seriously and ended up brushing too hard. I’ve never missed a 6 month cleaning in my life. I have 1 cavity and this is the thanks I get — the worst pain in my life. I went to the dentist and she sealed the tooth and now the pain is worse. I would like to extract my own tooth at this point, this pain is way worse than a spinal tap or recovering from abdominal surgery. I’d rather give birth without anesthesia. At least I’d know that it would have to end.
i want to rip off my jaw. my tooth hurts soo bad i just want to rip it out. i am trying to think but it’s hard. this pain takes over everything. the pain shoots trough my face and make the rest of my teeth hurt. i have yet to make a dentist appointment with hope that it will go away. it has beena month and still pain. i think i am going to ask someone to pull it out tonight. i just want it to stop!!!!!!!
Man my top back tooth hurts. It broke awhile ago but no pain untill now! And the wisdom tooth behind it is coming in. 🙁 I have a host of prescription painkillers and even some leftover antibiotics but id give my left foot for a shot of novocaine right now!
I have single handedly put my dentist’s children through college with having other dental issues addressed, and he cannot see me until Monday (I called this past Monday). I’m in such pain now I wish I could fix the damn crown myself. I think I should have had him call in a prescription. Idiot. I will probably die from an infection.
my story. I cracked one of my teeth on my Dad’s gummy bears that he put in the fridge (no clue as to why he does this.) Anyhoo, it’s a back molar …didn’t go to the dentist at first and now i feel stupid. I’m in soooo much pain. It’s not so much the tooth pain… but it feels like someone is driving a nail directly in my ear.
I took a vicoden …not only did that double the pain ..now i feel sluggish and in pain.
Of course i’m writing this on the weekend. But, what i did to temporarily get rid of the pain is swirl crest mouthwash around that area (removes the pain for about 30 min.) I’m going to take penicillin …and hope for the best. Pain is comming back, back to the mouthwash.
There goes 1500 dollars or so to get this fixed 🙁 I always think ..man i could have taken a nice vacation or purchased a nice hdtv screen tv ..instead of fixing this tooth!
Story:
Monday: toothache
Tuesday: dentist. Removes old filling, finds base of molar to be cracked. Explains options: root canal or extraction. We agree that root canal is better option (keeping teeth). He does state that it ‘may be beyond the point of no return’. I ask what he means, he states ‘you may still get an infection.’ So he does root canal and puts in a temp filling.
Wednesday: back to dentist – lots of pain. Puts me a 5 day course of penicillin.
Thursday: call dentist – more pain. Tells me I had the option of extraction but declined! Under his advice.
Friday: back to dentist – tells me to be brave! And to finish the course of anti-biotics.
Saturday: Absolute agony, off to emergency dentist. Won’t take tooth out. When you have an infection, the aniphestic does not work 100%. Tells me to go back to my dentist on Monday!
In agony, want to kill everyone. I have noted one valid point in my tale: why did my dentist not explain to me the ramifications of an infection. Had he said ‘I can extract or do a root canal which may result in the most painful experience of your life.’ I guess i would have gone with extraction.
Incidently: it is 5am, had 2 hours sleep for second night in a row. I am taking 3 x 500mg Penicillin, 3 x 400mg Ibubrofen, 6 x 500mg Co-codomol (nice, but get a little stoned). I also have tickets for Wimbledon on Friday.
So does anyone know if the anti-biotics will actually work? If so, when?
I have the worst toothache of them all.what is a good home remidie i can use
To Troy – no home remedies really work. You need to call a dentist. I hear that ibuprofen works well to relax the tooth. Who knows…I took Tylenol and it only helped somewhat. Good luck. My saga continues….I finally got to see my dentist after waiting 6 days for an appointment for my broken crown. I think I should receive a medal for sucking it up. The pain was lovely. I was surprised I didn’t have an infection but I guess rinsing with hydrogen peroxide helped with that. I now suspect the temporary crown is too high and now my ear and jaw ache. I don’t go back to him until July 10th.
AHHH! I had a crown on about a month ago. But the dentist didn’t do a root canal. She simply drilled off the decay around the nerve and popped a crown on it. Now it feels like someone is driving an icepick into my tooth and the pain is surging throughout my lower left jaw. Ibuprofren seems to be working for now, but my tooth hurt like this before I got the crown. And the Ibuprofen worked for a little while, then I went to Vicodin, then I had to use both!!! HELP!
Jesus Christ, the testimonies from you people is simply astounding! I’ve had toothache before and I know for a fact that they hurt like a beotch. Here’s to finding some sorta relief for you people!
god,the pain ‘ went to the dentist today and got molested with her drill , my tooth has a temporary filling on it as im in the middle of a root canal. ive taken ibuprofen , held brandy against it and found that the only cure is to get totally drunk which i now havinng discovered this plan to keep up until the next appointment in a week
I cried myself to sleep last night. And it was sad, because I think crying actually relieved the pain a little bit. Had alot of expensive dental work done back in 2003, and I think something went wrong somewhere. It looks like all my teeth are black on the inside and the process has just moved from the back molars up to the front teeth. I am in so much pain it is unbearable. My neck hurts, my ear hurts, I can even feel it in my eye. I have tried Advil, Excedrin, Tylenol, even Aleve 500mg tabs and nothing has relieved the pain. I have used clove oil, Kankha Gel and Orajel liquid. I have tried to sleep on ice, and while it dulls the pain for a moment, I can’t take it. I think I have a wisdom tooth that has come up through my gums and is pushing into another tooth (or trying to push through more gums). My dentist can’t see me for a while…I am in SO much pain. OOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Had an appointment with the dentist and he said he had to extract my upper right molar. Fair enough, went there, he took it out. Didn’t feel any pain.
I come home, and as soon as the numbness starts to fade…OW!!! It’s been 3 days since i’ve been and it’s still in agony. Plus there’s this weird taste in my mouth…Is this normal?
By the way, here’s a tip for anyone with toothache: Get a hot water bottle, fill it with hot water (Not scalding hot obviously) and lie down on it. Relieves the pain lots!
about 6 weeks ago i had an abses top left somewhere and my dentist of 20 years gave me some antibiotics. took them an booked an apointment for the rootcannal for tomora. and guess what last night my filling fell out and tyhe abses has flared up. for sum strange reaswon my lower jaw really bloody hurts too. i know i m not gonna get any sleep tonight just like last night. toothache is by far the worst thing in the world. it just tops back ache, but not by much. roll on tomorow i hope he can cure my pain…..
See…Entry 137 and 149. I’m back again. Woke up a hour ago with the same toothpain.(3:01am). First I rinsed with the Listerine Pre Brush Rinse ( alcohol and peroxide). It helped very little this time. So, I’m all out of Percocets. I walked to the store, got a bottle of Tylenol PM and Motrin. Popped 4 Pms, and 1 Motrin. Check this out!!!!!!!!!! Rinse with WARM to medium hot salt water (the more salt the better) I rinsed for about 5 mins. Woot!! =) Its throbbing but nothing like when I woke up. I’m surprised that the salt trick helped. Pms kicking now. Ninight/ morning everyone.
I am finally pain free (no toothache, no earache – new crown put on today) this site helped alot…thanks for listening
Oh my gosh the medical system in new zealand sucks!!! Cant get into dentist for two weeks i cant see my doctor for a week and i am going to die!!! Havent slept in three days and am drinking whiskey and it is only 11.00am!!! grrr i hate the medical system!!! just rang my boyfriend crying! i want to die!!!!
Man!! I am so happy to to read people comments about the same thing I am going thru these last couple if weeks has been hell!!!I have this hole in my wisdom tooth and I could not afford to get it fixed until now with my new job insurance thank God for Medical plans. I cant sleep the pain will wake me up in the middle of the night everyday!!!until I started take some Motrin. I going to try the vodka I have a appointment on Monday and its Friday I’m going to have a long drugged up and drunk weekend cuz i cant take the pain no more!!(shouting)
I just ran to the store and bought some Sensodyne- i packed it down into my molar and within 3 minutes the pain was gone !!!! THANKS FOR THE HELP !
my husbands face is so swollen right now. We had to leave work an hour after we got there. So the dentist is getting a phone call this morning. This man can withstand any kind of pain………….except a toothache. He has taken pennicillin, 12 advil, 2 prescription pain pills, and the pain still hasn’t stopped, and now the pain is shooting up into his ear. HELP!!!!!!!!! I don’t know what else to do for him. Any one have any suggestions???
I know about the vodka thing but don’t live near a liquor store. But my neighbor always has liquor on hand so maybe he can help. Does the sensodyne toothpaste help that much??? Something’s gotta give before he goes insane over a damn toothache. hope everyone starts feeling better
Can’t stand it anymore…Flew to Massachuset on Friday 6/14 tooth started to hurt. (Dentist says that flying can usually help detect a bad tooth) I have a high threshold for pain but can not stand this anymore – i am going crazy. Stayed in MA for 4 days (Heat Wave and no Air) no dentist wanted to see me up there called my home dentist. He gave me clindamyicin and vicodin (makes me itchy) I have been adding in 600-100mg Motrin, barely cuts the pain. Saw the DDS today, and the Endodontist will see me on Monday – 6 DAYS!!! Taking Percodan now and it is not phasing the pain – I am gonna ask for Demerol tomorrow if it does not subside, the antibiotics seem to have relieved some pressure. This will be the 8th root canal for me and by far the worse pain so far.
So glad I found this site, this toothache is driving me mental! I’ve had it for 3 days now, constant throbbing toe-curling pain that wont let up. And the pathetic NHS in the UK cannot give me a dental appointment until August! They dont even class toothache, no matter how bad, as an emergency..how ridiculous. I think I’ll be rattling around with painkillers for the next few weeks and I’m even going to try my luck on holiday in Spain next week and see if they can help me with a dentist there instead. Going to try the vodka tonight even though it makes me sick..anythings better than this. Bleeuughh.
Wow, I have got a terrible toothache. Started 3 days ago and have not slept since. Looked in the mirror and it looks like someone has beat the crap out of me. The entire left side of my face is swollen. My left eye is swollen shut and keeps watering and there is a little puffy bag under that eye. I look like suzy who from the grinch show or like a character from the planet of the apes. My nose is also swollen and the left nostril is swollen shut. Can’t afford the dentist, but afraid that this infection could be serious. I have heard news reports before about people actually dying of a tooth infection. I am so scared, my top lip is swollen and can’t eat, don’t think I would want to. Anyways just wanted everyone to know I feel the pain with you. I have had 4 kids naturally and was crushed between a house and van that broke my left femur in my leg and could not walk for 2 mths then had to walk with a walker for a while and none of that pain compares to the toothache.
wow… i have a decayed tooth and it dosent hurt yet in my upper mouth my gum is infected and the tooth that is on top of the gum has a slight cavity in the bottom which causes the bottom of the tooth to be sharp so its constantly stabing the infect part of my gum… the pliars are looking real nice right about now… and i dont have any vodka, but will rum work?
im sorry but i have to add that ive broken my wrist, sliced my leg open on lava rock and landed ona patch of vana all at the same time surfing down in hawaii, for everyone who dosent know vana is just another name for sea urchin, and when u land on one or many the bristles break off into hundreds of shards that stick into your skin, and you cant get them out by yourself, u need to dip the wounded part of your body in searing hot white vinigar for 30 minutes every day for 1-2 months untill it disolves.
oops forgot to add the whole purpose of the second post. all that put together isnt anywhere near the constant pain im filling, its been going on for over 24 hours and i havent gottena more then 5 minutes of sleep before i wake up with a searing pain in my mouth!!!
Toothaches are some sort of evil punishment. At least that is the conclusion that I have come to. I don’t have insurance, so a dentist will not see me. I broke my wisdom tooth a year or so ago, and now the entire right side of my mouth hurts. Not just one tooth, all of them. I have tried oral gel and all it seems to do is make my tongue numb. The only vodka I have is UV Blue, but am seriously going to attempt that. Just a note…I have a torn ligament in my ankle that I am currently awaiting treatment for, and this doesn’t even come close to the pain I am feeling in my dang mouth!
Hi I’m 9 months pregnant and can’t do anything about the horrible pain I feel in my mouth. Its 4:00 am and i cant sleep. I also have pregnacy issues to deal with and I am do for a C-section in 2 weeks. Can’t do anything about this horrible toothace, not to mention it happened on a weekend when no dr. will help.
thanks to all of you, i thought that i was the only person in history to be going through this, the right side of my face is unbelievably painful and if i rest my head on anything it just starts throbbing, i has this for about 3 months and it just seems to be getting worse, which up until a month ago i thought was impossible. i’ve tried pain killers, vodka, glove oil etc but the only thing that seems to make it bearable is keeping ice water in my mouth but as soon as i spit it out within a minute or two the pain is back, finally i realised that the pain is to much for me to handle and i’m giong to the dentist in 3 hours, i will just have to wait and see if she can take this pain away, i can’t do anything cause all that i can feel is this pain so i’m very unproductive at present, i’m not quite at the praying stage but if this dentist doesn’t fix it today i would be willing to try even stranger things :r
Toothache is the the absolute worse pain in the world. I went to bed on Monday night, fine as can be. Woke up about 3am with slight pain, took a mersyndol went back to sleep. Went to work on Tues with a tinge as the day progressed i got worse. Went to the chemist and brought sm33, a mouth wash and toothbrush & toothpaste. $26 later and relief for 30mins this is at 11am. I knew it was an abcess and the pharamist suggested i get some penacillian. I hung out at work trying to be brave, by 3pm my friend demanded that i go to the doctor. He gave me a shot of penacillian and told me to go to the dentist when the abcess goes down. By 5pm i was crying in pain and poppin pain killers like they were lollies.
Nuerofen worked pretty well for the rest of the night until this morning. I woke up in tears. I was going insane all day until about 3pm when i rang the public dentist for help they told me to come straight, luckily i was seen pretty much straight away. My teeth were that rotten and infected that I have now had 2 teeth removed, I am still in immense pain, the denist told me that removing the teeth will only releive some of the pain as the infection is that bad and deep it will probably take a week to clear up.
I hope that i can keep my sanity for that long.
i really wished i had of listened to my parents when they told me to brush my teeth, i probably would not be suffering this much now.
Thanks for listening
Cheers

i had a root canal done on thrusday and today is monday. I have had shooting pain everyday. I use pain relievers for a couple of days, it takes the pain away for half an hour. Then I switch to Morin now it works for a good hour then pain. i haven’t had a good night sleep for three days. I was notified that I had Voldka in the house by my husband. So I will try that. It seems to work for everyone else because I haven’t seen a complaint about it yet. I need sleep!!
I am 25 years of age since last weeks my gums are swollen the last back 4 tooth are painfull i dont know if its the wisdom tooth coming out
It is 1 am and Ive downed so many Tylenol and Ibuprofen 600s that Im suprised I havent overdosed.My whole left side of my mouth is swollen, pretty sure I have an abcess.Ive never wanted sleep so bad in my life.Its also Saturday and I cant get into a dentist until Monday.What will they do if I go to the emergency room…the pain is that bad.
It is now 5:00 am and I am still up after being up most of the night. I have had a toothache for 2 days on the weekend of course. I do not have dental insurance right now. There are no dentists that are opened on weekends. I am trying not to go to the emergency room. I have been on mega doses of extra strength tynelol. Anbesol, salt water and toothpaste did not work. I don’t have any vodka in the house as I can’t drink on the other medication I am on. I just pray for all of you that your pain will subside and that you will find some relief.
Hello All,
I just had a molar AND a wisdom tooth pulled out of my jaw. The pain was so intense I saw stars when I bit down. It is still very very sore and difficult to open my mouth. I wanted to share a little trick with you all that seemed to work the greatest for pain. One Advil Migraine gel tab. Poke a hole in one end and squeeze the gel on to the sore area around the gum and on the tooth for instant releive (mind the bad taste).
-Regards
I recently got a tooth removed as it had the biggest whole ever… i had an incensetive jerk pulling out my teeth AND when he was finished i wasnt quite sure if he got all the pieces out but assured me he did. he said there was infection there but didnt prescribe me for antibiotics or anything.
As my mouth is very small my wisdom tooth is moving into that space. Im not sure if now the gum has hardened it wont come through fully or not… (i can feel is partially out.)
Also for some reason there is a tooth on the lower jaw. a wisdom. trying to come through but there is clearly no space… it hasnt really tried to come through before but the gum looks to have changed colour abit (Bruised) and my jaw is hurting like hell… At first i couldnt tell weither the top or bottom wisom was hurting as they are both on the same side… but it seems to be the bottom one…. its hurting my mouth,right side of my face… my glands, my ear and its giving me a headache. The pain is unbearable. nothing seems to be working. (only a hot water bottle on some occasions) im not sure of what to do next. (im going to the dentist on wednesday but im not sure of what they can really do…) im abit worried 🙁
I just went to the ER for my abscessed tooth. Like some of you, I cannot afford to see a dentist anytime soon. (No insurance, and they won’t bill you anymore.) The ER doc told me (like I didn’t know) that I had a terrible abscess. My face was swollen from under my chin, to under the ear. It looked like an apple. I’ve had an abscess before, but this is the mother of mothers. I cried out loud in the ER everytime he tried to examine inside my mouth because it hurt to open. He finally said I needed to be on a potent regiment of antibiotics, so he gave me that and a strong pain reliever. Believe it or not, motrin helps more than the pain killers he gave me. I am alternating them. Hopefully, the antibiotics will kick in soon, and this swelling, which has stretched my skin so taut that it looks like I’ve had a lower face lift, will subside soon.
I am so thankful I am not alone. I have to get 12 teeth pulled and I can’t get myself to go to the dentist. First I am not sure how I will pay for since insurance only like a penny towards it. But on top of that I have horrible panic attack when ever I think or go to the dentist. All because some horrible dentist dropped the drill in my mouth while doing a routine root cancel. I had to have 20 stitches in my mouth. That was almost 9 years ago. I have been living in pain since then. Everyday I have a tooth ache. I just wish I could over come this fear. I can’t take the pain anymore and I am sure the people around me are sick of hearing my complain about how much I am in pain. How am I ever going to get 12 teeth pulled. I am so scared. I am crying just typing this thinking about it. My husband doesn’t understand since he doesn’t mind the dentist and he is not in pain. thank you all for letting me share this with you.
Hugs,
Nicole
This is the worst pain ever. Went to the dentist two weeks ago who gave me a temporary filling and a course of antibiotics for 3 days just in case there was an infection and i must say its the best £15 i have ever spent it gave me instant relief of toothache. However the dentist told me to leave it for 1-2 weeks and the nerve/root will die out then i can go and get it removed, so ive waited 2 weeks and guess what the nerve hasnt died and im in agony. Ive found the best remedy for relieving the pain is definately Alcohol, but if you have to be up early the next day its out of the question. Listerine is a good remedy, Ibuprofen (which i have been munching on like they are sweets), and milk believe it or not has releived the pain on occasions. Having a party tomoz so im gonna get absolutely wasted and then try and remove the bugger myself as this pain is ridiculous. Have you got the option of having a tooth removed from the dentist or do they decide what you should have, cos theres no way im forking out for a root canal, id rather have the bugger taken out.
I can’t believe nobody has said anything about clove oil! You can get it at any drugstore. Dip a toothpick or a Q-tip (take a little of the cotton off so you don’t get too much oil)and put it on the tooth that hurts. It will stop immediately! Plus the clove oil is antiseptic. The only downside is it may kill the nerve in the tooth permanently but WHO CARES (!) when your tooth hurts you can’t even think straight.
OUW 🙁 my wisdom tooth is killing me, all four corners have erupted through and i cant eat and find it hard to talk 🙁 Gum is all red and swollen :\
I dont want it taken out , as the dentist said there was enough space to grow!
I rubbed ouzo/arak on it and it numbed pain for a bit, but not enough and not completely!
It doesnt taste very nice but CLOVE OIL on a cotton bud rubbed on the gums on the affected area dulls the pain abit.
(it works for me at night when i feel the pain is at its worst.)
Last week I was fitted for a crown on a molar. Tuesday it started aching so badly. But it only hurt in the morning when I got up. I figured maybe I grind my teeth when I sleep. Today, I went for the permanent crown and told the dentist about the pain. He figures I might need a root canal, even though he took an xray before fitting me for the crown and the root looked fine. He said the temporary crown looked ok and hadn’t come loose. He put the permenant crown in but with temporary cement. I’ll see him again in a week to check it out.
Anyone ever hear of a root going bad so quickly?
I cannot sleep normally this whole week because of this terrible pain on the right side my upper and lower jaw, my ear and the right side of my head.I cannot pinpoint which tooth is the cause since it feels like every freaking tooth hurts in result of this pain. It’s strange that the pain kicks in from 12 am to 5 am, it eases momentarily and then comes back again. If banging my head on the wall were an option for relief, I would do it in a heart beat. I’ve been putting so much Orajel in my mouth that my whole jaw is numb. It seems like Motrin or Advil work best for temporary relief. The only other experience that I’ve had with similar pain is when I caught a bad cold when I was younger and got sinus headaches for a week.
The new dental coverage I’ve got is an HMO plan so it turns out the dentist that I used to go to only takes PPO. So I’m screwed until I register with a clinic that accepts HMO.
The problem with amalgam fillings, apart from the fact that the mercury in them is toxic and could very well be creating a host of long-term illnesses in your body, is that in order for fillings to hold, dentists have to drill the cavity out quite deeply, thereby reducing the strength of the tooth by 75%. Fillings later expand and cause the tooth to crack and this harbours more decay and the filling eventually falls out leaving the tooth in worse shape than had the initial cavity been left alone. I can’t wait for all my amalgam fillings to fall out. But will I get them drilled out or replaced by new generation fillings? No way. I have found that the pain related to a cavity or a broken tooth, while intense, is usually short-lived – lasting generally no longer than a week max and the pain is mostly controllable during that time anyway. The body obviously has a way of counteracting the pain. I mean, you have to ask yourself “how did people cope in the days before dentistry?” I find that most of the pain of a toothache is related to food particles and tooth/filling fragments that irritate the cavity. Therefore my first line of defence is to use strong (rounded) wooden toothpicks to dislodge these particles and clean out the cavity and thoroughly work the toothpick between the adjoining teeth. Then using my thumb and forefinger I wiggle the affected tooth as much as possible from side to side and then bite down on a tissue that’s been folded over and over. I do this routine after every meal and whenever I feel pain. All this manipulation can intensify the pain momentarily, but in my experience the body remedies the situation itself within a few days. If I’m feeling excrutiating pain I find that swilling brandy or similar over the affected area in conjunction with a dose of headache tablets before going to bed works wonders. Would I get another filling? No way. Would I get a tooth extracted? Yes, but only if the pain of the toothache was so bad that I wasn’t prepared to wait for it to fall out on its own. But if you can stand a little discomfort, be patient and your body will generally rectify itself.
i got a cavity that wasn’t even really bothering me filled yesterday and now i am in HORRIFIC pain!!!! the dentist disturbed my nerve and i can’t sleep, can’t eat, i’ve been crying, even calling my mom for reassurance! OMG!! i was actually thinking i would rather be dead! someone please tell me this happened to you and it only lasts a day or two!!
april:
Don’t blame the dentist, blame yourself. When the cavity is too deep the heat from removing the decay might cause the nerve to become inflammed. If you are lucky it’ll heal up eventually, if not the tooth will eventually die. It’s your own fault that you waited so long before you go to the dentist. It takes at least 3 years for a tooth to develop a cavity.
Ban Fillings,
Maybe you should advocate prevention instead of spewing rubbish. Prevention is the best cure. Leaving infection untreated is just asking for trouble. You are lucky nothing has happen to you yet, but others are not as fortunate as you. I’ve seen several cases at the hospital emergency department where ppl almost died from complications developed from a simple decay that was being ignored. Infection, if left untreated, can spread. Maybe you should try pulling them out with pliers yourself instead of leaving them in your mouth. Try leaving an open would on your arm and bath it constantly in fluid loaded with bacteria and tell me what happen.
Had 4 wisdom taken out 3 weeks ago. Am now left with
4 major food traps at the back of my skull. Dentist
was a bit rough & ready – didnt tell me about after care.
Am now brushing rinsing gargling 4 times day – but have
major smelly breath. Anything to be done???? Anyone
out there in the same boat??
to dentistdownunder, how dare you!!! some people have no insurance and some are just plan scared to death, I know I am. I literally hate the dentist!!! it can be very tramatic for some people. I went to the dentist, to have one extracted and we decided to save it instead with a temp filling, well, it’s 2:20 in the morning, and I can’t fucking sleep, I am in soooooooooo much pain, I can’t stand it! I am popping tylenol 3 like candy, and it only lasts for about about 1 1/2 hours. Why do dentists have to be sooo crooked and take advantage of people in vulnerable states, they rip you off so you’ll come back, paying more money that you simply don’t have, as the richer get richer, the poorer get poorer. Get some compassion, and have an open mind, toothache pain is literally unbearable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
