Bloody Toothache!

Trick-Dicky my wife is a specialist Max Fax nurse, she says report to your nearest access centre if you are unable to get an emergency dental appointment, don't get fobbed off with the expensive implant option, be firm and say to your dentist you want referring to your Hospital Max Fax unit. Severe toothache is awful in some cases even Tramadol will not ease the pain. As you will know if you are taking Antibiotics do not for god's sake drink alcohol it will make the treatment fail, it makes matters worse if you need them in future as they will be less effective, as you say the co-codamol just makes the system constipated. Good luck with it.

 

Agree with all but the codamol bit. Never had a problem with that or any other pain meds after operations. The trick is to go and give it a push when you normally would. Bombs away and back to normal.

 

Re. the "bombs away".....Colase works, too. Learned that with my first surgery and the accompanying Percoset.

 

Hang in there Tricky-Dicky! Glad to read that you've had some days with relief from that serious pain you've been battling. Thanks for the update.

 

Tricky-Dicky
Have to join you there i got the toothache. Under my bridge the root has started to decay. But they want three thou to remove the triple bridge pull the tooth and fit a spike to refit. I am using the repair and protect to numb the pain and the dental sticks laced with some numbing paste.

I would advise you to enroll in any dental clinic for a full examination of the oral cavity to exclude the possibility of blood infection through the gums, as this can be a very serious problem in the future. I don't think your problem will get worse, but it's still better not to delay going to the dentist and not forget about the health of your teeth.

 

@Havit here you go Wayne

 

That must be really painful best of luck, TD! I had a severe toothache a few months ago, and I can't even sleep or eat properly. I decided to visit an emergency dentist to get some help, and they also prescribed me medications that helped me with my toothache.

 

I know it's been a while, but toothaches can be a nightmare! I feel for you. It's like they have a way of showing up at the worst times. Have you tried any home remedies yet? Sometimes, a warm saltwater rinse can help soothe things a bit.
