Tooth Ache :-(

[compo]

Wait 'till you have dentures and get toothache!

Fillings are money in the bank for the dentist. If it hurts have it out.

I had toothache the other day and have always sworn by cloves. I get a clove, from the jar, and put it between gum and the inside of the lip/mouth as close to the source of pain as possible. It really helps, of course you hum a bit of cloves but its a pain killing method I have used until I can get to a dentist.

I have lived in this area for 6 months and having great fun and games finding a NHS dentist, can't afford to go private so my nagging tooth will have to go stuff itself until I can find someone.

I have just been messing about on the NHS website and i have found a few dentists in your area of Norfolk,there is also a phone number to ring for advice.That is how i got my NHS dentist after great hepl on here.

Thanks. Sometimes the website says that dentists are accepting people but when you ring them they say that they are not. I am determined to find one this week. Its my 'weekly project' for this week

If there doesn't seem to be any source for the pain that the dentist can find, this makes for interesting & informative reading: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-24932880

The antibiotics are starting to have some effect finally! Pain not quite as excruciating now, which suggests there is definitely an infection in there. Phoned the dentist this morning.......he doesn't work Mondays . Alright for some!

Take all of the anti biotics. Dentists don't usually like doing anything until the infection is all gone.

My new dentist only works on a Thursday.

I like my dentist. She's shorter than me and only about half as wide so I always feel like I could take her down if need be.

Dentist has now decided I need root canal treatment and booked in for the 4th December. The infection is clearing up and so hope it doesn't come back before then!!

At least they can do it reasonably soon. I hope all goes well.

Yes as phil said, good luck.

Root canals are not as bad as folk will have you think.
I had a serious dental phobia - to the point were the GP prescribed me sedatives just to get me in the chair.
I ended up with three extractions and two root canals aswell as having two fillings replaced. The worst part was paying for it all!
Listening to your fave tunes on your mp3 player can help the time pass.

Root canals aren't too bad IME - take a while and they're quite noisy, but they shouldn't hurt at all.
