Freakin Jaw is killin me... (my vanity, my title)
Vanity | Vendome

Posted on 09/19/2014 9:37:30 PM PDT by Vendome

So yeah, I posted lame "topics" but, y'all love me, so here it is.

cracked my back molar, dentist put a temp on it, crushed the lil plastic thing yesterday, pretty dentist put the old aluminium one on until the permanent comes from Vietnam or wherever.

Thing is, it hurts, like it's bare and for the 1st time in my life my stomach hurts.

Okay, so I whine but, could be worse, right?

I mean, I'm a single, 51 year old man. If were pregnant and walking the streets of Somalia, I don't think, maybe, they would understand.

I feel it might be great if someone put a hatchet through my left foot.

I mean, I don't really use the the thing, not even for driving and hell, the distraction?

Priceless!

So, there it is. Vendome whines for the 1st time but, dernit! It feels like what's left of my tooth is in a vise!

Arghhhh!!!!

I wish Donna from "Suits" was here. She could Donnafy the situation and all would....well, likely be ...uhm...well...

Doning flame suit and appreciate your best excoriating comments.

Yer the best!

The book, “Where There Is No Dentist” and a dental prep kit would be good to have.

Of course, let’s hope it’s not infected and that you do not make yourself go septic.

I’ve been in your spot. Hurts like h@ll.

Sorry to say, mine was solved by a root canal as it was an infection. Ear pain pretty much confirms it.

To make it through the night, or weekend - advil, orajel, cold compresses and the aforementioned whiskey or booze of choice.

” until the permanent comes from Vietnam or wherever.”

Actually they carve it from the thighbone of a wampa, pack it into dry ice and ship it via solar sail from alpha centauri, lose it in new jersey for three days, missend it to a wrong address in Rockland county new York, then finally pack it on the back of a hamster caravan where it finally arrives...
....and must be sent back due to it being wrong.

This may be a good idea. It may need an antibiotic to keep from blowing up into some ghastly abscess which even if not harmful will be incredibly painful.

If you don’t have oil of cloves or a little bottle of oral anesthetic, try parking an 81 aspirin (I like orange) directly on the tooth and let it dissolve.

Now ...... Is it safe?

Penicillin can be had from some pet supply shops. Most dental infections yield to old fashioned Penicillin V. In case of ingestion, call a doctor.... if you couldn’t already call one.

Man that’s rough. You have my sympathies. Maybe an emergency dentist tomorrow if there is such as thing. I am sorry I can’t do more for you. Take care and let us know how you’re doing.

Abscess. Probably.

Root canal.

They give GREAT drugs for that now days.

Not like when I was getting one and they gave me a stick to bite on.

Or was that the dentist's finger?

In the mean time, clove oil, ibuprofen and cold and hot packs rotate every 15 minutes.

Went through a similar situation..pain meds do no good..nearly OD’d on vicodins. No help at all, and the pain goes down your neck and ear...might even make it to your toes....lol

Good thing we don’t re-live pain in our memories or I would have shot myself years ago..

Good luck!

ANTIBIOTICS

Take your temperature to see if you’re running a fever.

As others have said, it may be an abscess requiring a root canal. Don’t wait, call the dentist first thing in the morning and tell them it is big time pain. Take three ibuprofen and hope it doesn’t get worse overnight. I had one develop while I was stuck out on the road about 15 years ago and thought I would die in a motel in Wichita, KS.

Your upper jaw drains infection into cranial areas — so don’t wait too long to deal with this.
