Toothache - HELP ME

30 replies

namechangedtohelpyou · 19/07/2019 10:05

Sorry, this is my second toothache thread. I have severe toothache. I want to rip my jaw off. Even NHS 111 can't find me a dentist and I've tried everywhere within my area (and that's a big area). I've phoned over 60 dental practices. I'm stuck. I am a lone parent to an 8 month old. I am struggling as I am in so much pain. Can't even take decent painkillers as I am breastfeeding.

What now? I'm in agony.

Corsodyl mouthwash can work for pain.

Difflam sore throat rinse also.

Anything with benzocaine or some sort of numbing agent will work - try to avoid too much sugar. It could irritate it further.

Green tea does not have antibacterial properties. What a load of tosh

I know tooth pain (as you can probably tell) and know the feeling of smacking your head against a wall to hope it'll knock you out to give you a relief from the pain.

When I was hospitalised they filled me full of antibiotics and morphine and I could've kissed the nurse who hooked me up.

Absolutely do not put heat on a painful tooth. My mother did this when she had an access and became very ill.

Nothing helped me before I had a root canal. I tried absolutely everything but nothing worked. Poor OP I hope she managed to get in with a dentist today!
