Toothaches Suck

[Leixor]

My tooth feels like its going to explode with enough force to take my house down. The pain is intolerable, second only to the migraine headaches I thankfully only get twice a year. I have taken a Vicodin and it didn&#39;t even come close to touching it. Of course it&#39;s the weekend so the dentist won&#39;t be in til Monday. I told that dentist a year ago just to pull it out, but he wanted to save it and did a root canal... bah... I AM GOING TO TAKE A CHISEL AND POKE IT OUT&#33; (I wish it were that easy >_<) This seems like a bit of a rant, so uh... anyone know any like... good remedies for a toothache?........................................ make it stop

No one has replied to this but that sucks. I haven't really had many tooth problems myself. I don't even have wisdom teeth. How's it now anyway?

[/b] Wow someone replied... haha... tooth problems run in my family... its genetic or something... If you're in my family you can have the best oral hygiene ever... and still suffer. My older brother (42ish) and older sister (37ish) have both lost most of their teeth and have dentures... Thats a wack thing to look forward to... Well at least I have all mine, even if they give me fits. After the Vicodin not touching it... and my post on here I was at my wits end, literally in pain among the worst I ever experienced. I was gonna go to the emergency room and make them slice the abscess that had formed, but would not drive myself considering having taken a vicodin. I was about to freak out it was so bad and I went to the bathroom to poke at it. Well nothing sterile was around so I just decided to try to rinse it with hot water. It worked, it made the damn thing drain and instantly relieved the pressure enough for me to go to sleep. When I woke up it was gone... thank God!

[/b] oww..i feel for you..i had toothache a couple of months back, stemming from a tooth that broke. Which i never got looked at, cos it wasnt' hurting! They bunged a temporary filling in to stop the pain, and now i'm on the waiting list for a root canal. Just hope they make a good job of it. I'm 22 so they didn't really want to yank it. Saltwater's pretty good for things like that, it's antiseptic...but there's no worse pain than toothache, feels like someone's putting a hole in your skull...makes me ache just thinking about it.

Tootache is the worst ache in the world. Especially for the people who has dentist-phobia like me I hope you'll be fine soon

reminds when it was decided that my wisdoms should come out. they said it could wait another year, but then i felt an intermittent ache in one of my back molars. it wasnt bad, just annoying. at my next routine dental they saw on the x-ray that the wisdom that was behind that molar had already grown towards that molar and was eating into the root. they decided they had to operate much sooner, lest i lose that tooth as well. and i know how you feel about having to wait till monday. nothing EVER happens to me during office hours!!! if i have a UTI, i have to just go to the ER, cuz there's no way in hell im gonna wait till monday for that. hope you feel better though.
