Toothache, really bad toothache.

[byke95]

1am, can't sleep...toothache is making me feel that death is the only way forward.

Short of death, is there anything other than taking paracetamol/ibuprofen/co-codamol (not all at once) I can do to get me through the night, and maybe even have some sleep?

For those who need to know more, said tooth and I have a history: some years ago I had root canal work followed by a crown (I'm not sure if that's the correct word - 'cap' thingy over hollow tooth) which was badly fitted, resulting in a tooth that'd flare up (swell around the gum and be sore for a few days) if used too much (e.g. crunch a carrot on it). Around a year ago I had this removed and the mother of all fillings put in (by a different dentist) but the area around the tooth has remained sensitive to use, and still has flared up every once and a while. Problem is that this time (after 5 days - I now realise an emergency appointment is needed) the 'flaring up' is getting worse, the area below the tooth is quite swollen.

Whisky....

Run a little bit on and around your tooth...
Drink the rest of the glass...
Sleep like a baby!

Any cloves in the house? (there often are near christmas time, not garlic, the little wooden stick looking things). If there are stick one in your mouth, suck/gently chew it 'till it's soft and press it directly on the sore bit. Clove oil acts like a local anaesthetic.

Tesco's should sell clove oil... tiny little bottle and stinks to high heaven...

Didn't recommend this as i once burnt my mouth using the stuff... Make sure you read any instructions carefully!

Try using some bonjella on the gum thats affected, worked for me last time. Just get it sorted or you'll be gettinga gumboil next, and you dont want one of them trust me.

14.13, still no sleep and the pliers did look mighty attractive throughout the night but I'm now back from the dentist and have one less tooth!

Thanks for all the help ladies and gents

I could get all the remedies for you as i am the tooth ache queen, i had two out in the last month. Sometimes the only way to go is to get the bugger out!

as a tempory measure iboprofan does the job.

If anyones teeth are sensitive use colgate sensitive with the pain relief added tooth paste. I have been using for months and when my teeth get sore one brush and its gone.

In emergencys chew on a Nurofen. It tastes awful but it does work. Only for serious pain though cos its fucking disgusting
Cheaper than Sniff too.

Get someone to smack you in the bollocks, worked for my mate.....

Obviously he didn't know I was gonna smack him in them but it took his mind off the toothache.....
