Toothache!?
When you have an abscess (from an infected/dying nerve) you get a "bubble" on your gums. The infection is trying to escape the tooth but has no where to go ... that is why it hurts so bad to pressure. So, this infection will find the path of least resistance which is usually a "bubble" on your gums near the tip of the root of the tooth. While you have this bubble... the ache will be SEVERE. When the "bubble" pops and the infection drains then the tooth is less tender. But then the whole process starts again. Usually you will not know when the abscess drains. Maybe this is why you are in less pain right now... Needless to say, visit your dentist ASAP... and take ibuprofen for the inflammation.
Reply:Sounds like you need root therapy. Take ibuprofen to relieve the pain and call your dentist first thing in the morning. Do not ignore this!!!
Reply:Keep trying to contact your dentist. If no luck you could resort to the hospital ER to at least start a regimen of antibiotics. You can take anti-inflammatories like aspirin or Motrin to ease the discomfort. Good Luck
Reply:For re leave take one shot of Brandy and hold it in the area of the tooth for a while Don't swallow ,,,,, till you can get to the Dentist it take about 3 to 4 minutes to start to feel better
Reply:Go to the Pharmacy some where and ask the Pharmacist about that, they might have something for you..... And try not to eat anything hard or sweets, sweets are bad for you and junk food, dont eat things like that, that will only make your tooth hurt more
Reply:Put some toothpaste on the tooth for a few minutes or use a Fluoride rinse. Wait a few days.
Reply:Toothache or shall we say strange pain on one of your teeth or the gum-line is usually the starting point of severe or worst dental problems. Aside from giving you sleepless nights of painful miseries and difficult chewing, it could actually threaten your health.
