My tooth hurts

thefinalstage

That's right. It hurts and I want the internet to know. My dentist x-rayed it and said it was fine....idiot! He was the one who put in the filling 2 months ago.

Tell me of your dentistry tales to make my pain seem smaller!

Abi

Go to another dentist.


Perhaps Kaneda? he/she seems to have all the answers.

Just pull it out. Tie an end of string to your tooth. Tie the other end to an open door. Slam the door shut and your tooth should fly out, causing an end to your misery.

If it makes you feel any better, I think toothache is one of the worse pains. Try the chemist for something until you get to a dentist Monday.

Poor you :P

Get drunk

Large amount of alcohol should do the trick

Nurofen plus for the pain until you get to a (new) dentist. I wish Ireland had better dental education. Teeth are so important.

This type of behaviour has risks though, considering the standards of construction in this country in recent years.
Its entirely possible the door might break free from its hinge's and fly back hitting you in the face.
Though this in itself may solve your problem by knocking out said tooth and maybe some neighbouring teeth.:)

Do some stuff which makes you an enemy of the state.

Wear sandwich board advertising said anarchic tendencies.

Sit back and wait for all teeth related issues to disappear.

No payment necessary!:)

im sure youll get to the root of the problem

wet your index finger and sprinkle a good bit of salt onto it and stick your finger with the salt right onto the gum and around the tooth that will get rid of the pain. been there done that and it works. some people use a cup of warm water and put 3 tea-spoons of salt in it and squish it around in their mouth but whats the point in doing that when you only want to sort out the main tooth.

try the salt first and give it 20/30 minutes and see if it's any better. get a big clump of salt on that finger and mash it into the tooth and gum where the pain is. the taste of salt though is crap but nothing a few beers won't sort out.

nothing worse than a full scale toothache meltdown, it's hard to believe the amount of pain it can be side of the face going numb and the throbbing is a killer + no sleep with it.

Yeah well I've an impacted wisdom tooth and the surrounding area is infected so I've a sore mouth, jaw and throat and on 2 lots of antibiotics and can't eat anything harder than actimel.

So poo to you sir.

ger vallely

Well, poo to you too. I've flippin' gum disease and good brushing, flossing and lots of root canal have not sorted it. I'm on the way to teeth in a jar,unless I win the lotto, then it's nice permanent falsies. Cordysil toothpast provides some relief but- I just want my teeth and gums, not sore, so poo to you all.

gurramok

stop eating junk food perhaps? Oh and ger vallely, eat some honey straight from the jar for your gum problems, honey is the best natural cure Oh and orange juice helps

ger vallely

Regular or this manuka variety? I thought honey would be quite bad for teeth and gums in any substantial amount? I will certainly check it out though. i do not fancy carrying my teeth around here and there.

zenno

not too long ago I got a toothache to beat all toothaches and it was friday night and I couldn't get a dentist in my area till monday and I was rolling around the ground in pain till monday morning in agony and had to call the dentist to see can he fit me in for an emergency tooth extraction. that was pain I never felt before and I was on the brink of collapsing from over 2 day's of no sleep. I hope that never happens again.

Almost that exact thing happened to me not too long ago either. Hadn't eaten or slept for days. No painkillers would work so I tried almost all of the online homemade suggestions. Worst pain ever and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Poor you, OP!

Whiskey is your friend.

There are no dentists open at this time on a Saturday night. Go drinking in Tallaght and someone will likely knock it out for you.

Regular stuff, its your gums not the teeth that are hurting. No, honey works on any wounds in the human body whether it's the mouth or on external wounds, its good for almost anything.

not as good as salt though. salt will sort most of these problems out salt will easily remove the infection of an abcess as well.

ger vallely

I know that salt works with basic infections but honestly-not with gum disease. Honey...I will definitely try it, anything is better than the alternative. Root canal is extreemly painful, both on the mouth and the purse. Total tooth extraction would be horrific and draining on anyones resources. Okay-I'm off first thing tomorrow to buy honey. Rub it on the gums? You said take it straight from the spoon? But would that really have an effect?

My father in law once told me after a few drinks that he once extracted a tooth with a piece of string attached to a lumphammer. It was the 80s and he was skint. I felt a certain amount of shock but also a sense of admiration.

Noreen1

As pretty pistol said, Nurofen Plus is good for toothache.

It might be worth ringing your local hospital to find out if there are any emergency dental clinics there.
Given all the cuts lately, I wouldn't be too hopeful, though!

well all I can say to that is it's crazy. I know how painful a toothache can be but doing that with a string and a lumphammer is just asking for trouble as well as the case of infection and also doing permanent damage to your gums and surrounding teeth. not recommended in the extreme. he was some man to even try that, i'll give him that.

FueledByAisling

Someone invite Kaneda_ in, I'd kill to see what they have to say about tooth aches.

But on a serious note your dentist sounds like mine, except 2 weeks after a filling is put it it ends up falling out and leaving a tiny spike of my tooth left! This has happened 3 times by now which is ridiculous so can anybody recommend a decent dentist in south Dublin please?

He is a hardy type.;)

ballsymchugh

if you're in dublin....

https://www.vhi.ie/jsp/swiftcare_clinic.jsp

the dental hospital have an on call dentist too, based in st james.

zenno

what a coincidence, was just talking to my friend here on skype and he has one hell of a toothache and he is a chocoholic for sure, and he said he only got a filling in two weeks ago and it's falling to bits already and this is the tooth giving problems.

I asked him how could it be falling apart already and he said something about they don't use mercury any more and it's just weaker stuff ? well thats what he thinks.

anyway people try and get those teeth sorted soon before it gets worse. I would have paid 2,000 euro just to get my previous tooth extracted it was that bad but i left it a good while and it hit bad, so good luck and i hope you find something that can ease the pain because i only know too well what it's like not being able to sleep. or ask a friend or someone for painkillers until you see the dentist.

Yes, take it straight from the spoon and let it rest on the gums as long as possible. Take as much as you want. I've had gingivitis(an annoying gum disease) and honey was my cure( that is when your diet is eating the healthy stuff!). I also emphasise orange juice as that had quite an effect on mouth ulcers which I assume you might have.(well it had an affect on mine!)

Once you have a properly dosed anesthetic injection, Root Canal treatment is completely painless, it just feels a bit weird with the long drill bit going into the tooth and removing the nerve.
The same with an extraction, it's painless but feels weird.

OP, dose yourself up on Neurofen Plus.

Go to the pharmacy and get Clove oil its like a natural anesthetic to numb the pain, very good. your just rub a small bit of the oil on your tooth and all the pain will go away.
