oil of oregano on the tooth and gum should help reduce pain caused by inflammation and swelling. Otherwise, walmart and other places sell tooth kits that have some light topical numbing cream.

Depends on your insurance and finances. You might try the ER and they could give something for the pain and maybe an antibiotic.
I got a fish hook in my hand last year and it cost me $50 co-pay in the ER. Got another one (damn Pickeral) a week or so ago and instead paying the new co-pay ($500). I decided to just use the needlenose pliers. It wasn't very deep so came out nicely.

or oil of cloves may help you. If you dont have any oregano/cloves oil , just make strong tea from cloves and rinse your mouth. Its very fast painkiller ,but only for short time. Get a some painkilers (something avalaible in your local store , what containing Ibuprofenum, not paracetamol. From my own experience ) or numbing cream like sheila said and wait until tuesday.

If it is abscessed, don't let him pull it, it'll poison your blood and wreck your heart valves. Happened to a woman I knew. She was literally killed by a dentist.

Boogie? $500 co-pay? WTF? All hail Obama. I know this derails the conversation a bit, but private insurance is a whole lot cheaper than these places like Blue Shield and such. Unfortunately, so many ppl are trapped by employer provided insurance.

Ghozt: Cloves or oregano are good topicals.

Well, seems companies are cutting every corner to show a profit. There was a better plan but much more expensive.

I suggested the ER because if you can get on antibiotics now, the dentist may be able to pull it when you go. Otherwise, he will prescribe antibiotics and then schedule another appointment for pulling or set you up with an oral surgeon.

damnit, wife called freaking out and woke me from a lovely drug induced nap. anyways they are making me come in tomorrow 8am for an emergency visit with their onstaff dental team at the hospital.

Going to the dentist has always been fun for me since Novocaine has absolutely no effect on me.
Re: help~
AceTone, Sun Aug 08 2010, 07:54PM

I thought I was immune to Novocaine until a dentist accused me of having built up a tolerance due to heavy cocaine use. Considering I never once touched that drug, I went to a new dentists who suggested that I wasn't tolerant to Novocaine, rather than slow acting. Like a delayed response.

Having a cavity filled next week. Already made arrangements to get to the dentist one hour before hand for Novocaine injections to kick-in before the drilling commences.

Worth a shot ghozt, maybe your body needs some time.

Feel better soon!

If your dentist really still uses Novocaine I'd get another dentist - or ask him to use Lidocaine.

When i have dental pains, i use a paracetemol (BenURon) it´s his name, and it is really fast to slow down the pains from the abcess and dental infection.
If u have it infected the dentist will give u antibiotics to kill the infection, and next week he will se what damages that tooth caused there.

I extracted a tooth on fryday, dentist gave me points on the gum to close the hole, and the only recipe he gave me was paracetemol, to help the inflamation and kill the pains.

Re: help~
|$|Son, Mon Aug 09 2010, 02:13PM

i´ve tried it 2 years ago and the only thing the doctor said to me was: "drink lots of cold beer so u can heal quickly " :P

if he took out 2 teeth from u u hadn´t a infection, wich is good. They wont hurt u no more. :=) good sleep :P
Re: help~
ghozt, Mon Aug 09 2010, 03:34PM

oh it was infected, they drained it first and that hurt like a SOB.. they did the extractions as an emergency extraction to prevent further complications, infection, pain, jawbone infection, etc.....

Oh, in this country, a swat team breaks down your door at 3am, terrorizes you family (including children), shoots your dogs, on the suspicion of having weed.

Re: help~
|$|Son, Tue Aug 10 2010, 07:07AM

What a fukin retarded force. if they had susicion of weed, they should have known to that was children in the house and dogs! thats why the police is being very criticised by us citizens and dont get our respect now.

At the end did they get any WEED? or just a gram for the guy to smoke.

i would personally hunt the retard who shot the dog and would do him the same. this is sick.

the rapists, murderers and robbers have more rights than this guy had
