dental pain

[crispandfruity]

I've been referred for some treatment at a dental hospital next week (extractions x3) however I am in a lot of discomfort. Not agonising pain but general dull throbbing.

I've been taking ibuprofen and paracetamol but it's not cutting it. What else could I take?

I think the cause of the pain is my impacted and possibly decayed wisdom teeth pressing on stuff. I hate teeth.

Codeine helps sometimes but until the decayed tooth has gone, it might not make a difference. At least you've got an appointment

Sorry, possibly decayed. Impacted wisdom teeth are fuckers.

At the point of referral earlier this year they didn't hurt. Swines. They know they're coming out don't they?!

Yes, thank god I've got the appointment/referral. Going through weeks/months of this would be really grim. I keep thinking about the pliers in my tool box!

Oh I feel your pain!
I've recently had 3 bonded composite fillings and I'm in pain too :(
Going to have to phone dentist on Monday.
I'm sure it's not mormal to be in this much pain after a bloody filling.
Try swilling your mouth with soluble co codamol.
Helped me when I had impacted wisdom teeth x

Oh baddz, I had one of them last month. Sorry you're in pain too. Soluble co codamol is a genius idea.

The only good thing I can say about dental pain is that it's a marvellous weight loss aid.

At times like this I wish I was married to a dentist.

I'm a dentist and I refuse to treat my family... Maybe if they were in pain I would but it would definitely be a last resort. My mum doesn't even trust me to put the dishwasher on without her supervision (left home 15 years ago) so I think it would be a bad day for both of us if she had to let me loose on her wisdom teeth.

Oh well, I'll rethink my plan to leave my husband for a dentist. Wine appears to be helping at the moment.

I actually love my dentist. She's kind and makes my mouth feel nice.

that's nice crisp falls in love helps dentists too.

I hope it's all sorted after your appointment. I have ooh clinic tomorrow, 50% dread and 50% look forward to helping people.

They should be SO grateful to you!! Dentists are like magicians. They make you look pretty in the tooth dept and magic away pain - unless you're waiting to have your wizzies extracted!!

Hahaa, that made me smile. We always get one aggressive/rude patient. I thought we would have to call the police a few weeks ago because a patient was demanding a treatment that we couldn't provide.

Ho hum. I don't think it's a bad service, NHS charge of £18.80 or free if exempt, on a Sunday. Sometimes people try to "tip" us the £1.20 which we clearly can't take also, it's like 40p each so we politely decline.

Can't beleive you get abuse mrsm :(
I would prostrate myself in gratitude at your feet if you could sort my bloody teeth out :(

I agree, I'd turn up with a bottle of wine in each hand! MrsM just in case you weren't taught this in dental school, I can confirm that 3 glasses of wine cures wizzie pain. Can you cascade this info to your patients tomorrow?!

I absolutely will pass on your high quality evidence crisp I'm sure they will be delighted although less so when I explain I can't prescribe the wine...

Glad you're feeling better!!!

I think that dentists should prescribe wine as a first line treatment. Hope your clinic is not eventful tomorrow MrsM!
