there is nothing worse than a toothache. but you should be ok now. the antibiotics will help with the pain too. keep the percocet to help you sleep. you can take advil or motrin every 4 to 6 hours, this will help with the inflammation. some people may experience discomfort up to 2-3 weeks after a root canal. some people longer depending on how inflamed it was. it does sound like you had an infection because its hard to get a patient numb with an infection present. that could be the reason why you felt it. it does sound like your on the road to recovery though. just try to be patient with it and hang in there. good luck

forget the home remedy and take her to a dentist ASAP. That is the best advice you can get.

I am so sorry, I just went through the same thing. Although I found out that the pain is not actually from my wisdom tooth coming in, it's from an infection in the tooth. My dentist prescribed me antiobiotics and they made the pain go away in a few hours, you just have to remember to take them the entire time the dentist tells you to. Another thing that worked for me before I got the antibiotics was to keep water in my mouth (I used cold but most people respond better to warm). That sounds weird, but it worked too. Your dentist should also be able to prescribe Vicadin for you.

I just had my wisdom's out about 2 weeks ago. They STILL hurt a little bit! But yeah, at first I was taking the pain medicine basically to sleep. My dentist told me to take 3 advil liqui-gels ALONG WITH they  pain meds. Just make sure u have some food in your stomach, like a Slim Fast or some pudding is enough. That's all I could eat...that and mashed potatoes. Now, when I try to eat regular foods, it feels like my jaw is being ripped apart. I cannot open it very wide at all without some discomfort. They told me it was normal and it would go away.. OH YEAH, I also still have my blod clots..the gums are not healing over yet...I don't know when they are supposed to heal completely..I heard a co-worker say it took them 6 months to heal over!!!

if you don't think you are healing , then go back to the dentist immediately!! You should not put your tounge any where near the  places you had the teeth pulled from, i know this is hard to do because your tounge automatically will want to go there, it soothes the pain when you do this, about the blackness, i am not sure what that is but i would call the dentist first thing monday morning and inquire about what you see and feel, good luck-get better soon

definitely some orajel or a similar type product would help along with some Tylenol or similar item, till you can get to the dentist, but in the meantime if you have some aspirin  you can rub it right  on the area that hurts, along with trying to numb it  by  holding something cold on the outside of your mouth in that area -if cold does not help you can try warm... hope you feel better!

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.

seek professional advice IMMEDIATELY... this can be very serious... til you can get to the dentist/doctor try melaleuca oil... or some sort of other disinfectant/anti-bacterial treatment.\n\nYour dentist/doctor will probably put you on anti-biotics

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.

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!

Try an oral surgeon.  They regurarly use IV sedation to assist patients in extraction - expect it to be costly.

Honey,I feel realy bad for you. I can't think of anything around the house to help with the pain. Your going to have to get up and go to the store. Look in the isle where they sell stuff for babies."ORAGEL" for babies cutting teeth will help stop the pain. Please get the one for babies,so you can use it without making yourself any sicker. They sell it every where. GO!!!

Ask your dentist.  You might be able to use a removeable appliance that would be relatively inexpensive to fix a minor problem.

Go see a dentist!!  No one here is a dentist, or at least as I've seen from the responses to your question, and neither am I, but I can tell you that if you are having a problem related to tooth decay, IT WON'T GO AWAY BY WISHING IT AWAY!!! And the longer you wait the longer you'll suffer and the more work the dentist will have to do to fix the problem, and you'll get even more scared, and a bigger bill.  Another possibility here is that you're having sinusitis, or impacted sinuses, and that can hurt like hell and make it feel like your teeth are going to explode out of your mouth.  Go see some medical or dental professional.  This ain't gonna go away by hoping it does.  I know!!  What's that phrase: "Been there; Done that!!!!"  Get a  move on girl!!  You'll be glad you did!  God Bless you.

If you go to the pharmacy or supermarket there is a cool thing over with the oragel.  I can't remember the name of it, but it comes with a small glass jar, tweezers and little tiny cotton pieces.  This is especially helpful if you have a cavity hole and can stuff a piece in there.  This will make it go numb and give you a little rest.  I found by loading up on the ibuprophen, alternating between that stuff and oragel it bought me 2 weeks until I went to the doctors and got a prescription for vicodin to last until my next doctor's appointment (3 days later).\n\nCheck with your doctor and see if you can get a pain killer, but also make sure to get an antibiotic so the infection will start going down before you see the dentist, then if they need to do anything they won't have to worry about infection.  The infection going down will also help relieve the pain.  Good Luck
