Toothache

[cateyes1]

Here it is 2am in the morning and I have a 10am appointment to have my tooth yanked. What do you guys do when you have an awful toothache and you cant sleep? oh please 10am come around quick !! (I guess i'm just having a pity party here until its time for me to go to the dentist lol)

Hope they get your tooth pulled with no problems.  Having a toothache is miserable.  Good Luck

Take something for the pain and get some sleep.

No problem with you having a pity party.  I think you deserve one.  Having a tooth ache affects the whole body

So sorry you have a toothache.  Hope everything goes well at the dentist office.  Having a tooth pulled sucks.  The worst thing for me is the needle to numb the gum.

Oil of cloves is the recommended strategy for toothache. Hopefully you've had it taken care of by a dentist by now. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Never had one that bad where I couldn't sleep but rinsing with clove oil helps.  If you don't have the oil make a tea with whole cloves or powdered cloves.  Also chew a clove of garlic.

Sometimes when you teeth hurt you can oil pull and that will help with the pain.

So sorry I know that pain.  I had a filling fall out on a Sunday and had to wait until Monday but every time a ate or drank the pain in the hole was terrible.  By now you should be feeling better, hope it was ok for you.

   Your dentist (or pharmacist) is supposed to give you some pills (pain killers).
Orajel (a numbing gel) works well when applied directly to your gum.

Thank you all. I went to the dentist on Thursday and was told I have a bad infection so they have me on an antibiotic.  They took an xray and found a tooth growing out of a tooth, she said that she never seen that before. Anyways, i'm on the antibiotics for 4 days and I now have an appointment to have both teeth pulled on Monday at 2:30. Please have good thoughts that all goes well ? I am so scared right now I am having these thoughts that I am going to die in the chair. ...Hugs to you all !!

[gwilson31]

Calm down,  everything is going to be fine.   I'm sending good/positive thoughts your way.  Good Luck

Sometime vanilla flavoring will ease the pain for a bit but glad you getting it pulled because they can cause problems like infections.

I took antibiotics, went back to the dentist this past Monday and had that sucker pulled and I lived through it. Thank you all so much with your well wishes I so so appreciate them ....it turned out that I had another tooth behind that one so I actually had 2 teeth pulled, but I feel so good now. thank you thank you thank you, I love you all !!

I have a tooth ache gel at home that temporary relieves the ache. I also take a tylenol extra strength pain killer to alleviate the pain.
