toothache.


Question Posted Thursday October 5 2006, 11:22 pm

I have an extremely bad toothache. Like i want to cry thats how bad it hurts. I told my mom and she said it will feel better in a couple days and that was 2 days ago and i feel 50% worse now. I hate dentist but it hurts so bad im willing to let them do whatever they have to to make this feel better. But i cant get to one because of my parents. Is there anything out there i can buy that will help me feel better? Ive tried oragel and tylenol but nothing has worked.

thank you. By the way is my wisdom tooth or whatever tooth is in the back.

I agree with elipongo, you MUST go to a dentist. Please tell you parents that you need a dentist, if they won't listen arrange it yourself by getting others involved. Oral health affects almost every other part of your body. Oral health is vital to your overall health. You MUST get to a dentist asap. To reduce the pain, gargling with salt water will partially numb and disinfect for a short period of time, its a quick fix until you can see a dentist. Please see a doctor soon.

Love, Rainbow

You need to go to a dentist, and I don't understand why your parents won't take you.

This sounds a lot like child abuse or neglect to me.

Tell them that you need to have an emergency dental appointment. If your parents still refuse, you might want to consider calling 911 and getting the paramedics and police involved.

Your oral health doesn't just mean keeping your teeth, but problems in your mouth can cause permanent damage to other organs in your body, like your heart. You need to get treated, one way or another.

Hope it all works out for you.

As emergency measures you could try oil of cloves, doesn't taste too good but it is numbing. The other thing is that there is an acupuncture point for the teeth on your ear lobes. If you squeeze the lobe on the affected side, (you may need to move your fingers around to get the right place), it should help lessen the pain.
You do however, need to see the dentist. If your parents can't/won't take you, is there someone else that can?
Hope that helps and you are pain free soon.

As for making it feel better until you goto the dentist, travel down the baby department and get the gel that's for toothing. It'll numb the gums so you don't feel anything.

Bonus side, you might have to get the wisdom teeth pulled out which means no school...

Yep, wisdom teeth are all the way in back. They come in on the top and bottom, though not everyone gets all 4. You may only get one.

Tell your mom that you think it may be your wisdom crowning. all you have to do is take a trip to the dentist and they'll set everything up. If it is your wisdom teeth and you're going to get them removed and you have any questions, send me a note to my inbox. I had all 4 of my wisdoms removed in July and could answer some questions.
