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!
My frickin ear canal hurtz too...
Maybe I shoulduh posted on the "Ughhhh thread" but, then people are uncaring and souless.
Soh, help me God!
Serenity now!
It may be getting infected.
Just sayin’.
I had an abscessed tooth and it started out like that too.
Anbesol and whiskey. Now. Not kidding.
Clove oil.
Oragel ?!?!?!?!?
Got any wine? It will help for a few hours anyway.
Swish out with hydrogen peroxide to help stop or slow infection.
Sorry about the agony.
Call your dentist, call them at home if you must, and have them prescribe Some Serious Painkiller for you.
Nobody likes to go to the emergency room on a Friday night — but maybe you should.
Don’t take chances with your health.
You are not acting like a baby!
What you describe sounds awful.
Something like Oragel can indeed help.
And this too shall pass. Eventually.
“...old aluminium one on until the permanent comes from Vietnam or wherever.”
Good luck with that. As your tooth goes, so goes the rest of your body. Screw up your dental health and you screw the rest of your health up. I hope they don’t use mercury fillings.
Pliers...
I’ve got pliers.
That should solve it pretty quickly.
At least you aren’t the young man that had 232 teeth recently removed!

Shouldn’t this be posted under ‘Breaking News’ ??
I once mashed a few garlic cloves and packed it in the gum area as a temporary alternative to antibiotics. Burned like a bitch but it seemed to work for the situation.
No, it won’t because gritting teeth is the wrong thing to do. LOL
Maximum Strength Anbesol (20% Benzocaine), I use the Walgreens generic called “Instant Oral Pain Relief Gel.” works great for the pain part and lasts a long time
I had a root canal recently.
The freedom from pain now is indescribable. I was living in pain for years before the root canal, and now, I can chew pain-free again. It’s such a relief!
If your dentist recommends a root canal, don’t hesitate—get it done right away!
Anbesol, Whiskey, clove AND ask around the family if they have any Lidocaine. Lots of folks have Lidocaine laying around.
It puts an immediate dent in the head-wracking pain.
