..my wisdom-tooth has been fucking me up completely in it's painful attempts to grow out. I've been ignoring the pain, the swelling of half my face (!) and the headaches it have been giving me, with hope that it will work out the natural way. But since yesterday i can't even open my mouth completely and the headache somehow is coming from my ear (?!) from the same side so i'm freaking out a little and am going to the dentist in about an hour..therefore; I'm terrifeieeeeed!! I mean how are they suppose to do whatever they intend to do when i can't open my mouth? uuh never been scared of dentist before this..don't know why i am now.. just needed to get this of my chest. peace you guys <- this is what i can't do right now. haha :/
they will prescribe you antibiotics... and painkillers have fun getting your teeth yanked, it sucks little smelly balls.
just remember that even if it does hurt for a day or two, it wont be near as bad, or as long as it would if you left it!
OW. I would advise getting some antibiotics, STAT. Abscess teeth can give you blood poisoning and damage your heart. Seriously, my uncle woke up in the middle of the night with something like this and called the doctor. They scheduled an emergency appointment with his dentist right away and he got it pulled in the middle of the night. Infections like that are nothing to fuck around with. Good luck! PS: Getting teeth removed isn't that bad. I remember the one that came in that was pulled in a few minutes being a bigger pain in the ass than the ones that healed after surgery. Plus, providing you don't have a vicodin intolerance, the painkillers make it all good. I was eating a turkey dinner the day of my operation!
finaly home after a long day at the dentist and a long sleep at my moms. as many of you said thay gave me some antibiotics and yelled at me a little.. apparently the infection was spreading to my ear and/or balancesomething wich explains why i've been feeling so dizzy. but it's alright..she said i'm going to feel a little better just in a few days so no complaints. thanx for taking time to make me feel better you guys peace and lots of love
Glad you got checked. Did you set a date to get rid of them yet? I pester my bf a lot about his. They move around every so often and hurt him for a few days on end, and I always tell him they wouldn't do that if he'd just lose the damn things already.
hmm the dentist didnt say anything about removing it though (it's just one so far)..but seems like i should just get rid of it like you said maybe your boyfriend hopes it's gonna be aaaaalright like i did lol. hope he'll listen to u so he doesnt end up like me! peaace & love
Schedule an extraction or a root canal as soon as the infection clears up and you're done with your antibiotics. The infection may clear up and it may all seem good, but that tooth is already prone to infection and will likely just end up with a raging abscess again. I suggest an extraction way before a root canal because I haven't known many people whose root canals didn't end up in infection and abscess years down the road anyway. Just get rid of the sucker and be done with it. It's no big thing, my tooth was cratered a year ago, only half of it remained and it was chipping away bit by bit, but once the infection cleared up, it took maybe a minute of the dentist tugging on it with TONS of anesthetics and it was gone. Haven't had a toothache since.
