fluffyswitch -> tooth pain (6/18/2008 6:57:55 PM)
so i'm not sure where to put this so if this is in the wrong place can it get moved to the right one? thanks... so i got told today that due to the nature of some dental work that i had to have done i'm going to be in pain until say august (there are reasons why i'm saying august in particular). i hate taking tylenol and such i don't like pills in general. does anyone know of ANYTHING else i can try? i'm already using clove oil. i'm going batty and it's only been two weeks...

What is the work you are having done?

daddysliloneds -> RE: tooth pain (6/18/2008 7:06:09 PM)
alternate between cold/warm compresses... other than that, i got nothing for you. if you're in pain because you're getting dentures soon, and all teeth that have been pulled have healed and had the stitches removed, then i say, if you don't like to pop pills, then you better like to smoke pot!

Hurricane Gel.... should be able to get it at a pharmacy... its the same stuff the denist uses before you get poked with a needle for procedures...

That gel is just a topical. It isn't going to help the pain in your case which is coming from the nerves inside the tooth. If I were you, I would go to nearby university or teaching facility in your area and get it done before it becomes unbearable. In the meantime, you could also ask the dentist for a tube of gel kam, and rub that on the surface of the tooth.

Anbesol (the liquid, not a gel) helped me enormously with a toothache earlier this year. Also Extra Strength Excedrin.

Well, I hope it holds out for you. But if it doesn't, you might just want to schedule an appt with a regular endo. Root canals cost a shit load of money, not to mention if you need a crown and post afterwards, and they understand that most people have to pay it off in installments.

fluffyswitch -> RE: tooth pain (6/18/2008 8:02:17 PM)
yeah i already had one done a couple of years ago which is why i'm hoping this nerve will just settle down on its own. i may just schedule an appointment anyway to make sure that i'm not running a low grade infection. i would prefer not to wake up screaming again shudder...
