Dental Pain

Having just got my braces adjusted the other day I feel your pain...literally. :( Dental pain is not fun....not in the slightest...I'd rather be constipated.
 
Dental pain is the worse thing; probably because it's so close to everything in your head and makes it difficult to eat, sleep, suck, or pretty much do anything.

I'm in the process of having an implant as we speak; had the dead tooth removed (it had died and become abscessed) and the titanium shaft has been implanted into my jawbone. Now I just have to wait about 8 weeks for it to heal nice and tight and will have a matching tooth installed.

Implants are supposedly good for 25 years; at that point I'll hopefully not care! lol!

But when the tooth was dying, the slightest bite or pressure on it sent a pain all the way to the top of my head. The antibiotic killed the infection but alas the tooth had passed. A root canal and post through the tooth was an option but the longevity is not as long as a full implant.

How did the cowboys and people deal with the pain when there weren't drugs? Guess it would be the wine as suggested earlier! lol!
 
is there anything worse? I've got the most intense pain in my upper right jaw. I'm applying Diflam & hydrogen peroxide every half hour to try and reduce the infection. Every few months it happens. And I have to go away to conferences in Brisbane and Melbourne this week.

I want dentures :(

You need antibiotics immediately.
Get a doctors prescription.

Dentists are not allowed to prescribe antibiotics i think.
 
One thing I can assure, from my experiences, is that going to the dentist is nearly never as painful as not going. I've had two root canals, and I admit they were inconvenient...but that was about it.

Having a hangnail, or accidentally hitting a thumb with ad hammer, is more painful than any dentist visit I've ever had.
 
I recently had some dental pain, I thought it was a wisdom tooth coming up, I went to the dentist, after all the x rays etc etc they informed me that although I do have wisdom teeth that have not yet come up they weren't the source of the pain, instead I had the very early stages of Periodontal disease.

Anyway I was put on a course of antibiotics and scheduled for a procedure called Scaling and Root Planing over the course of 2 visits, 1/2 the mouth on one visit, the other 1/2 on next visit. Antibiotics took the pain away but I knew that I would have to go have the SRP done, I went and had everything done in one sitting. Painful for a few days but now I am fine.

It was totally my fault, I am a smoker and have been skipping my 6 month cleanings for a few years. From here on in I am not a regular patient, I will always be a patient who has periodontal disease and I need to go in every 3 months for periodontal maintenance to "manage
the disease. Bothersome and expensive yes but I take full responsibility.

My advice is that if you ever notice bleeding while brushing or flossing, don't ignore it, go see the dentist, cheaper and less painful in the long run. Good news though for me, no cavities, all teeth are healthy, wisdom teeth may never cause a problem, The only issue was gum health.
 
Ohhhh tooth/nerve pain. Horrible.

I hope things are looking up now, Ravenstar. I feel for you!
 
I hear you on the dental pain, it's the worst. Especially if you also have stress and allergies going on, so your sinuses and the sides of your head get involved.

I am having oral surgery in three weeks to have some teeth extracted. The first time I had a tooth extracted, by a dentist I didn't know and who wasn't worth shit, was such a shatteringly traumatic experience that now I have to be completely put out before I will consider an extraction.

But I get to choose if I have two or three taken out. I have to have the one taken out because it's got a cavity the size of the Grand Canyon in it, right next to the nerve, the tooth is in such a state that it's not worth saving. But then the one next to it has to come out, too; it doesn't hurt now, but it's right under the blank space where I had another two teeth removed a couple of years ago, and it's drifting out into the gap...and soon will clear my gum altogether and leave room for nasty abscesses and such.

But the third tooth...it just has one cavity and it's not all that bad. We've been pursuing a policy of pulling problem teeth instead of spending a lot of time and money when they're just going to fall out in a few years anyway. But when I was telling someone that I was torn about having that one removed when it wasn't much of a problem, in fact it only hurt when I ate chocolate, she suggested that maybe I not eat chocolate.

"That's not even funny," I decided to go ahead and get the third tooth pulled now instead of later, under one charge for anesthetics.

I look forward to having dentures (I'm the only person in my immediate family who hasn't got them yet). I won't like having to take them out or put them in or walk around without teeth like a crackwhore, but I'll like that the dentures will be nicer-looking than my own teeth.
 
To stop and start antibiotics on a whim is the source of the resistance bacteria are developing to our antibiotics.

Although you may have some temp relief from the pain/infection it will come back and may come back stronger and more resilient to common antibiotics thus leaving you in a whole different place altogether. A super infection may ensue. Even though I often feel better after a day or two of antibiotics I ALWAYS finish my course as prescribed even though it can be inconvenient and bothersome.
 
I hope you're healing up quickly Ravenstar! Not only is dental work expensive, but I personally find the whole process troubling. I eagerly await the day that I can have my teeth replaced w/ implants.
 
My wisdom teeth are impacted, so I went through HORRIBLE pain every time they hit a growth spurt. NOTHING would stop it, and I was so desperate that I tried everything - OTC pharm. and natural. It either helped very little, or not at all.

My heart goes out to you.
