tooth ache

i went to mom's dentist today just to check what was up with my tooth and apparently part of my molar wall chipped off and exposed some sensitive nerves :sad: and her dentist said i have a ton of cavities that need to be filled and a few of my fillings need to be replaced...i have a lot of work that needs to be done..blah,i hate dentists/dr's.moms payng to get that molar pulled out and replced :[ idc bout the cavities they havent bothered me yet

that's what i was doing but for my CHIPPED molar that doesnt help

 

remember! crowns aren't permanent! if its a far back molar its expendable, thats why im having both of mine pulled and not replaced. mine are decaying from in between the enamel and the center of the tooth, encasing the nerves. i figure i wont miss them that much.

 

maybe i should just keep it out,i still haven't gotten my wisdom teeth so that'll make room

 

very true. your wisdom may even move to fill the space, if you're lucky

 

they'rs already fuckin up my teeth tryin ta make room for themselves

 

my wisdoms all got pulled at the same time, two were impacted and had to be broken apart before the pieces could be pulled out. i think i was 16 at the time, and it really helped my TMJ problems, although there is still some tightness. the gum just builds up a sort of callous, so once its healed up its basically no worries.
people used to lose teeth throughout the course of their lives. i remember when i was little (little enough to be freaked out) my Nana's 80'th birthday, she looked right at me and flipped her dentures around in her mouth. scared the crap outta me. but in any case, when you run out of teeth its just a matter of preparing your food differently. if you compare what you've got to what people had in earlier tiimes, you really can appreciate a lot more of life little conveniences. im rambling though so i think ill stop

 

In the last half hour I got the worst tooth ache of my life

Does anyone have anymore specific info regarding acupressure? please, this is seriously one of the the worst pains Ive had in a long time, knocked back a fuckload of codeine but in the mean time I NEED something to ease the pain.

 

There is this stuff called Thieves, its a spray. Its a mix of essential oils and stuff. It really works. Tastes bad, then burns, then all goes numb. It will help your mouth. I used it when I had mouth problems, on my legs when I had staph, on my infected cartilage piercing, stuffs amazing. Hope I helped.

 

teeth pulling is not my thing lol i wish my old dentist gave me gas instead of that stupid shot for my gums.they say it wont hurt but in order for me to feel nothing they have to keep poking my gums with that needle
hate needles.......heh heh

 

i have problems with my teeth and have no insurance either and feel ur pain,no pun intended.

when i have a toothache i use generic orajel.i dip a Q-Tip in it and place it on the gum under the affected tooth for at least 5 minutes and repeat as necessary.ground cloves also work,theres probably some in ur moms spice rack.

u can also look into a place that does sliding scale dental work in ur area.they charge on ur income and if u have none they will usually waive the fee or bill u $20.the one in my city does anyway.

hope that helps,good luck

 

Last night I just knocked back a fuck load of codeine and took a cold shower, worked grand, Im fine this morning

 

1cup very warm water add 1/8 cup vinegar and slosh it around in your mouth for as long as you can stand it,

taste like hell but it deadens the nerves.

 

Ha. I love that stuff. I get it for ear infections. But I ran out.

 

haha nice
