Feeling miserable. Tooth pain after dentist visit

[Fairysteps11]

Feeling so miserable and sorry for myself!

I don't have a dentist currently and used the emergency dentist a couple of months ago as I had started with lots of pain. They drilled and filled it temporarily in preparation for root canal.

Watching tv two nights ago with a brew and a Rocky biscuit, my filling came out. It was ok for the first 18 hours then, the pain. Up last night crying for a few hours and had an emergency dental appointment this afternoon.

I chose to have the tooth extracted but after 11 injections, the tooth wasn't numbing enough and it was really painful. The dentist injected some antibiotics into the hole and cleaned and filled it. I will need referring to have it removed.

I'm taking codeine and ibuprofen and paracetamol and it's not taking the pain away completely. Can I use oragel?

It is more painful than ever. Please tell me this is normal and it gets better!

I’m not able to offer much advice, but can totally sympathise as I am also sitting here with absolute toothache agony! I am taking co-codomol and paracetamol and the pharmacist said I could use oragel as well, so you should be ok to use that if you have some. Sending you much sympathy, it is hellish

How is your tooth now? I think mine is dissipating slightly but still on regular painkillers! My face is slightly swollen on one side but maybe that happens! I'm very reluctant to go back to the dentist or maybe phone and ask about antibiotics!

Toothache is actually the worst. I decided that at 4am unable to sleep last night!
