toothache

[carsalesguy]

i have a bad bad bad toothache-

it's so bad i couldn't sleep last night-

anyone got any ideas what to do? doing a google search i read about rinsing out with salt water, which helped a couple of hours, but now useless-

i've tried the oral analgesic, tooth desensitizer, tylenol, tylenol PM everything-

i'm drinking pepto since now my stomach is really upset from the pain

any ideas?

[Hawkeye]

Try a dentists. I hear they are supposed to be good at stuff like this. You prolly need a toof pulled and den you get some lor-tabs :rolleyes:

[carsalesguy]

i don't think i can handle it tonight- the pain is killing me-

[Fotno]

I hate toothaches.

[optimistik1]

they have emergency dental care...usually under the dentist number...they will probably give you a shot for the pain, and then antibiotics if you have infection...I have dentures now, so I can't help much...sorry CSG...hope you find something!

[katzeyez]

CSG--you need to go to the dentist. If it's abscessed, and you don't have it looked at, well, to put it bluntly, it could kill you. Does , I think it's NAN Family care now instead of Urgent care, still have a dentist?

Take a glass of whiskey and a glass of water drink the whiskey and wash that glass out with the water, and repeat as needed.

[carsalesguy]

whiskey chased with water? how many times or until i'm passed out?

[PeachyKeen]

Oh CSG I hate toothaches too! If you can't get to a dentist tonight....take something that will knock you out, sleepy medicine....then go to a dentist in the morning. I use Charles Greer and he's really good at squeezing you in in this type of situation. Hope your feeling better soon!

[katzeyez]

Hattiesburg Family Dental will take emergencies as well. I noticed that when I looked up Urgent care, and they are out your way.

[anderlee]

don't drink the water rinse the whiskey glass out whit the water.

[carsalesguy]

oh just hit it one time?

[TheCapitalist]

That boy just doesn't get it, Anderlee! You did say repeat as needed!

Seriously, don't let it go. They used to call that area the "triangle of death" before antibiotics. (I guess nose, whatever. I'm a sewer worker.)

Anyway, if the infection is bad enough, they won't even be able to treat you until they get it under control. Get to the dentist pronto. Don't screw around. Take it from someone who had a sinus infection and ended up having brain surgery when it migrated to my frontal lobe! I would not wish that experience on the Devil. If I scare you, then good!

Get treated, brother.

[carsalesguy]

i'm going to call around and see how much it is to go see one of dese teef workers-

a little cap of rubbing alcohol has pretty much subdued the hurt-

[Nana]

yuk!!!!!! Now I'm nauseated.

[TheCapitalist]

Rubbing alcohol is poisonous!

dammit, boy! Try to keep you from dying, and you are trying to kill yourself@!

[Scarlett O'hara]

Get yourself to the dentist............you will probably have to take antibiotics to get rid of the infection before they can do much...........the faster to get to the dentist, the sooner you can get it fixed.........it's not going to go away.............and for some reason, they always hurt worse at night, don't know if it's because you are laying down or maybe your teeth grind together or what, but they do.........

[carsalesguy]

yea, satan said that it was full of poisons-

oh well it feels better tho-

[rollinthunder]

I have a niece that was admitted into the hospital yesterday because of an abscessed tooth. Word is they are checking for meningitis from it...be careful man...get right on down to the dentist

[birthdaybunnie]

I had a really bad tooth, it hurt, hot, cold, sweet, etc. I had my bite adjusted and my molar is good to go. Doc said it is like a bruise, if you keep hitting it, it will stay sore. Check with a dentist before you have invasive procedures.

[SoMissTV]

Did you know that the toothbrush was invented in Alabama?


Anywhere else, and it would have been named a teethbrush.

MSian!

[Guru]

DENTIST ...

Don't screw around with ailments that can make you REALLY sick.

[Guru]

Oh, and cloves have been used for tooth pain since time immemorial.

[bpitt]

Tie a sting to the tooth, and then to a doorknob and slam the door shut. Really, I saw it on tv, these three guys did it and it worked, kinda. Their names were Larry, Curly, and Moe.

Oh, a wise guy, eh?

nyuk-nyuk-nyuk.

[PeachyKeen]

Update CSG?? You get fixt up??

[carsalesguy]

i woke up last nite around 2 with it hurting, and put some ice on it-

today it's a heck of a lot better- not even hurting anymore

[bpitt]

You tried the door-knob method, didn't you?

[carsalesguy]

You tried the door-knob method, didn't you?

yea-

[pooker]

Hmm... I do not think anyone has said it yet but I think going to the dentist might be a good thing.

And her name was Ms. Gatewood. She literally did that to me, and boy how I cried, I don't think I lost another tooth after that till sixth grade.

[CRawls]

If you do not get it fixed even if it feels better, it can lead to other health issues. Mainly the heart. If you have high blood pressure, you really need to have it looked at. Dr. Dixon, the older one, out by the YMCA was good to me on a short notice one time. You REALLLLLY need to have it looked at. Who will we buy a new truck from when we need one? (Hopefuly not for a very very very long time!!!!)

He'll prolly have dentures by then...carved out wooden ones lol....

[carsalesguy]

on the track that i'm going, probably so-

[katzeyez]

You didn't go to the dentist did you?????http://www.thepointofnoreturn.us/images/smilies/naughty.gif

[Hermione]

If it quit hurting, you KNOW he didn't go to the dentist. I think once the infection reaches a certain point, it's killed the nerve endings and the pain stops. Then infection rages unchecked until . . .

(I made that up, but don't tell him, ok. He'll find out it's still abcessed before long.)

[optimistik1]

Well...if he DIDN'T go to the dentist....he better not come back in here fussing about it hurting again!!!! http://msp210.photobucket.com/albums/bb59/aingaelsmileys/toothache.jpg

*wondering if he's going to think I"m serious*

*knowing he's a man and he can't help it....*

[carsalesguy]

i'm a man and really don't want to spend the monies to do 'dis- since my insurance doesn't have dental on it-

and yea, it's still hurtin, but in a different place. starting to confuse the heck out of me that's for sure-

[CRawls]

You really need to go. The infection is spreading.

[Fish-Bait]

quit smokin'.

[katzeyez]

Just for good measure. ;) http://www.thepointofnoreturn.us/images/smilies/bslap.gif

[Scarlett O'hara]

It's not gonna go away.........you might as well go on now!

[Guru]

He said the Clove oil stopped the pain and I told him about spray Chloroseptic.
I have MamaSan spitting out remedies in the background so he ought to be relatively feeling no pain until he goes to the dentist. Gave him a couple of names since it's hard to get a walk-in appointment sometimes.

NOW GO!!!

[SoMissTV]

He's refusing to go. We may have to stage an intervention.

[carsalesguy]

*hehehe*

ok, so i got the problem figured out- cuz i can fix anything

so, this tooth in the back of my head has a cavity. gawd i've never had a cavity that felt like this, but then again who knows. the first/last time that i've ever been to a dentist was because i had a wisdom tooth breakin thru and all sorts of crap, and he gave me a shot, yanked it out, we went home and i threw up for 4 hours. so yea-

anywho- i rinsed out with salt water, and it's feeling much better. i think after 5 or 6 miller lites it will be all gone-

BTW i called those 2 places guru and they were all booked up today-

there is 2 places i'm going to try i guess tomorrow- one behind petro and then becca's soccer coach was a dentist that just started out, so i guess i'll try to call the 2 of them-

[Guru]

You are going to find it extremely difficult to call up and get a walk-in. There are emergency care dentists in Hattiesburg but I don't know where to send you.

[rollinthunder]

I am not joking with you CSG...I have a niece in Forrest General right now because of an abcessed tooth she wouldn't take care of till it was really bad. She had complications with it and now they are checking her for meningitis...I had no idea infections could spread like that but that's one test they're gonna do.She got bad off man...don't play around with it...

[TheCapitalist]

Try Dr. Wallace at Terrace Hill Dental Ctr. He is just down the road from Petro. Super nice guy and been around a while...

Open wide alligator.He used to say that all the time.LOL
I haven't seen him in quite some time,but from what I remember he was a very good dentist.

[Guru]

What's the deal? It ain't like they will put you to sleep and perform weird experiments on you or have sex with you while you are knocked out. Well, some places may but when you think of it, what's the percentages of it happening. Well, who cares? You will be asleep anyway.

[bpitt]

Cavitiy, eh? Walk back into the body shop and get you some bondo to put in it.

[carsalesguy]

Cavitiy, eh? Walk back into the body shop and get you some bondo to put in it.

already thought of that

[Ted]

already thought of thatIf ya can't get in right away -
Those 'emergency filling' kits actually Work. They're right next to that Oil of Clove stuff you got.

And - yeah - Felder Wallace is really good.

[bpitt]

JB Weld might work, too.

[Ted]

JB Weld might work, too.It just might.
That's pretty good stuff. ;)

[SoMissTV]

JB Weld fixes anything.

[GulfcoastLuvr]

I hate dentsists.
They only people I know you can go in there not hurting and leave with a numbed mouth only to pay for the pain later after the office is closed.
I had a root canal yesterday, not only expensive but very painful.
Pain dealers.

[TheCapitalist]

Yikes!

[katzeyez]

Can't fix stubborn! :p

[GulfcoastLuvr]

relief at last, I called him and he was nice enough to call in 20 #10 lortabs!

yipee!

I ain't feeling no pain, and I've never been to Luckenbach, TX

[Powerman]

I had lortab for my root canal years ago. I like me some lortab. It was my best friend for 4 days. I can see how some folks get hooked on that stuff. Bills to pay, flat tire on the truck, no food in the kitchen, wife mad at ya; does not matter. Pop one of those and all your troubles go away and replaced with rainbows, puppy dogs and birds singing. At least for a few hours.
