Hi Lauren - sorry to hear about your teeth problems, I agree that it is expensive to keep everything in check. There should be an NHS dentist somewhere in your vicinty. I suggest looking on Yell.com for dentists in your town and calling them in turn asking for an NHS slot on their books (this is how I got mine, it did take me a while but got there after about 5 calls). \n\nIf I remember rightly from the receptionists desks, forms are available for you to receive assistance with funding, I think your best bet is once you get a slot, go in (whether or not you get an appointment straight away) and ask. This way you know straight up how much money youre looking at to get yourself and your little 'uns sorted. \n\nMoneys tight for me too, and theres only me and my other half to look after, but I think setting a little aside every week / month for the purposes of health would be good so you know that you can get treatment. Once youve got the problems sorted, try and go every 6 months / 1 year and this will keep future problems in check. I didnt do this, left it 5 years, and consequently had a HUGE bill to get my teeth back in good order. Good luck chick

Go to the dentist. He won't do nothin' 'til ya been on antibiotics for a week or so. Tell him it really hurts, get good pain killers. Save a couple for your next appointment, then take 2 with a beer, you'll be OK!!!!

I would get on that waiting list and in the mean time get something to dull the pain, there are all sorts of toothache medicines.  Don't' try to do it yourself, beside the obvious horrible pain that would be involved you could also end up with an infection and that may be worse than what you are going threw now.  Good luck to you.

You can take Tylenol (recommended dosage)\nrinse you mouth w/ warm salt water.\n\nyou can rub clove oil on your tooth area (where pain is coming from)\n\nyou can go to the ER and get pain medication until you can get into the dentist\n\nI am not sure what exactly you have done.  If you have swelling?\nHave you broken a tooth?  Have a large cavity?  Need a root canal?  If the pain continues please see a dentist!  You could have an infection.  \n\ndental problems can cause poor over all health.

It sounds like an infection.....although you have currently taken antibiotics you may need a different kind now....you may want to follow up with the dentist ASAP......\n\nI'm sorry you're in pain....good luck

Uh yea. A dentist should be able to see a "dead tooth" on an Xray. Are you supposed to figure out which tooth is hurting..That is crazy. How old are you because you could be cutting your back molars and that hurts like heck. Do you still have space back there for a tooth to come in. Rub the gums and see if you feel anything coming thru. Cutting teeth hurts, why do you think babies cry? But your dentist is a quack if he did not give you more information than that. Go to someone else...

There are numbing products available over the counter.  ie Ora Gel, etc.  Ask your pharmacist, which is best.\n\nAlso, be sure to take Motrin.  It is the most effective pain killer for bone/teeth pain, that is available over the counter.  The idea about eating ice sounds good, too!  It will help soothe the inflammation.\n\nYou do need to get in touch with your dentist.  Maybe, he could call you in a prescription, that will do you...until you can get to his office.\n\nI really am sorry, that you are in pain.  I would definitely, get the numbing products and take the Motrin...at the same time.  It should, at least, take the edge off.

you might consider getting one of the sports guards and cutting it to the size of your mouth and heating it to mold to your teeth as the directions tell you ..try sleeping in this and see if it helps the soreness until you can see your dentist.

I'm not sure where you are at, but you can go to the pharmacy and buy something called Dent-temp, it is a temporary filling material that will help protect your tooth until you can get to a dentist.  I know you aren't supposed to, but I had to use it once myself for about 4 months.  You have to replace it about once a week.  But it only costs a few dollars for the product, and a little goes a long way.

ew...first, maintain proper oral hygiene...use some mouthwash to keep germs etc away from the site.  Also, they make non prescription pain medication for them..i think Ambisol (sp) is one of them, give it a shot.

You need to go back to your dentist and make him fix this! NOW!\n\nIt should only have been open for 3 to 5 days.

You need to see a dentist  as soon as possible.  you likely have an infection...which can spread and cause systemic illness and symptoms.  Iyou do not have a regular dentist, get a referral from family or friend, call and tell them you are in severe pain and may have an infection.  Tell them you do not have insurance and ask if you can work out a  payment plan.  E.R. would be much more expensive and they would refer you to a dentist.   Wish you the best.

Whenever a tooth is "ill", the tissues inside (and the gums) get inflamed, causing "sensitive teeth". There are some over-the-counter remedies for this. You can also use hydrogen peroxide to rinse with. For immediate relief, I would suggest max-strength Ora-Jel. You might want to talk to your dentist about a mouth-guard to use at night, if the pain is being caused by grinding in your sleep. Good luck!

Whenever someone says this to the doc I work for, my response is, "And people wonder why dentists have a high suicide rate."  Don't worry, tomorrow will be better.  Just keep thinking about all the folks you are helping!   Always remember the patients who say that they can finally smile again with confidence thanks to you & your staff.
