I told my mum. My tooth really hurts, what do I do?

Wow, your mum sounds a bit harsh to me, especially making you pay......I'm not sure that she actually will make you though, getting fillings and stuff can be pretty expensive, so unless she gives you a LOT of pocket money, she'll have to pay for at least some of it herself.\n\nI don't know if you'll need the tooth pulled sweetheart, because I don't know how bad it is. If the tooth is very badly decayed (rotten) then it might not be able to be fixed I'm afraid and then it would need to be pulled out. But try not to worry too much about it, no-one except the dentist can tell if it will need to be pulled out, not even your mum!\n\nI don't know what pills your mum gave you, but if she gave you paracetamol you can take some ibuprofen as well which might help. You could also get some hot water and dissolve some salt in it, then rinse your mouth with it a few times, that's helped me when I've had toothache. I hope you feel better sweetheart, and well done for telling your mum.

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.

REALLY painful.  the dentist should put some clove stuff in it and then it feels better.

Instead of putting toothpaste back in a tube, why don't you digress back to infancy and put yourself back in your mother's womb. The world is not ready for your incompetence yet.\nBTW, I feel sorry for your parents they must be very disappointed.

Take it from someone who has experienced both.  They are both excruciatingly painful but in different ways.\nSee a dentist.  He/she can give you something for the pain and an antibiotic for the infection that is causing the pain.  Then have them do something about that tooth so you don't have to suffer this pain again.\nGood luck.

Should see a dentist, could cause bad issues and if you have bateria in the tooth i *CAN* kill you.. or the infection could get to you..\n\nBut take advil, tylenol, aleve.. ect.. try to find a doc Monday. - if it gets too unbearable.. go to the ER\n\nI've had a infected pulp, and i had to have a root canal. so i know all about this situation quite well.. But only thing will stop the pain is find out what is causign it and have it taken care of.

Be brave and call the dentist.\n\nIn the meantime take Advil to help with pain and inflammation.

I dont know if they will be able to fix it, depends exactly how bad it is. But dont leave it any longer.  Go and see a dentist straight away coz the time that you are putting it off, could be the time they can do something to salvage it.  They will definatly do something for you though, thats what they are there for!

Good heavens! get another dentist! The one you have enjoys your pain far too much. the tooth is abscessing...you should be on antibiotics NOW. and an infected, abscessed tooth should NOT be messed with until the infection is done away with!

Set up an appointment with a Dentist to simply answer questions. Going to a Dentist's office without actually undergoing dental work may reassure her.\nAnother thing may be for you to go have some dental work done & bring her with you into the room where she sees no pain on your face. May help her realize it's ok.

ooh god .. he shoudl have covered them with temporary crowns .. . you have to ask him for that .. or at least to keep your lower teeth away from air, cold or hot things .. use salt warm water ... to clean .. use pain killers .. and don;t worry .. It will be Ok no inflamation there .. this happens only coz of the near nerve pulp .. from the surface ..

If it wasn't a baby tooth that fell out, there might be roots or something in there that are getting infected.  But who knows?  Lots of things heal on their own.\n\nMake sure you're flushing it with enough water so there's NO tiny bits of food trapped in it.\n\nSwish with warm salt water every 2 hours... I think it's 1/4t.  per c. of water.\n\nAmbecil helps.\n\nMake a diluted solution of peroxide and warm water to swish with.\n\nAlso, a wet, cold tea bag placed on it and VERY gently bitten down.\n\nMake a blender drink with ice and juice.  Or just ice and water.\n\nGood luck.  Tooth pain is terrible.

A heating pad would make the pain worse.  Ice pack would be better.  I also find that ibuprofen works the best for tooth pain.

if its a loose tooth, make sure to pull it straight up or it might grow back in crooked. if its not loose then you need to go to the dentist.

Keep track of what she owes you and next time you lose a tooth, I would sit up all night and wait for her.\nNo money, no tooth....plus whatever she owes you from last time.  :))

I used to freeze fruit juice and then rub it on my gums after my app. sometimes it would help with the swelling too. if you don't want that, just buy some popsicles. enjoy and i feel your pain and hope all is well with you!
