Toothache (Updated)

[lizbud]

There's no such thing as being "slightly addicted " to painkillers. It it hurts
that bad have it taken out.A low grade infection that lingers on can make you pretty sick,

Get it pulled, they can probably numb the area they are going to put the needle in to make it less painful. I have to get my wisdom teeth out sometime, my dentist keep nagging me about it. They are not hurting me now, but he says they can and surgery now at a younger age would be best. To top it all off I have 6 wisdom teeth, yep 6. And it costs more for me because of the 6 teeth. Anyways, get that tooth pulled and you will feel much better.

When my daughter had hers taken out they gave her a pill to relax her, then nitrous (laughing gas) then they used the needle. She didn't care at all. She had all four cut out in less than and hour and 4 days later, she was fine.
You'll go home with some nice medicine and in a few days you'll be fine.

Sorry you are in so much pain, but it does sound like you are going to have to get that tooth removed. I had all my wisdom teeth removed while I was asleep. No problems there. Also had a tooth removed with just the gas and the numbing medicine. No problem there either.

I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Tell the dentis you are scared of needles & would prefer to get gassed.

Thanks everyone.

I didnt get ANY sleep last night, I couldn't even lye down on the pillow because of the tooth pushing against the side of my mouth after last night I really dont care what the dentist does to get the tooth out, I cannot have another night like that I have enough trouble sleeping as it is and work is out of the question until I wake up more, I cant be around animals in a grumpy mood because that just doesnt work!

Anyway I gotta wait 10 mins for the dentist to open then I'm getting an emergency appointment sometime today if its possible, I've got through nearly 2 packs of painkillers in the last 2 1/2 days so hopefully he will give me something stronger of plan to remove them if he can. I think il close my eyes if I need the needle!

Gemini how do you fit 6 wisdom teeth?! that sounds crazy I would definatly have to have them out I can just about fit two lol I dont need to pay for the dentist as I'm only 17 so hopefully! its all sorted before I need to start paying!

I had to have 4 teeth pulled (when I had my braces on) with nitrous and it was NOTHING. They numbed me up, stuck the tubes up my nose and from then on I didn't care what they did to me.

I am the original wimp when it comes to dentists, so if I can do it, so can you!

Get the thing out before it causes more problems!

Let us know how you do!!!
