Hi, all abers, I am in agonising pain with wisdom tooth, I have tried Co,codamol,extra strength Orajel from chemist,Bonjela(useless).Do I just have to cry and suffer,well at least until dentist opens on monday.Any suggestions.Greatly appreciated.
Have your tried an emergency dentist? Mine had an out of hours emergency number. I know exactly how you feel, been there, had it taken out - you should have seen the size of it!! My sympathies.
Hi, sherrardk you know I do'nt know.I have access to a walk in centre for emergencies,but I am not sure they would do very much for very crawling the walls dental pain, or would they?
If it is really bad you can't wait all weekend to get it sorted out, there must be something in your area - worth finding out (I know how bad the pain is, I had four impacted wisdom teeth, taken out in hospital and I was I for three days).
Thanks joggerjayne but do'es Ibuprofen have asprin in it,I cannot take asprin.The co.codamol is good for so long,what a relief when pain subsides, but comes back quite quickly,thought about abcess, looked and could not see anything untoward,very red,side of mouth all bitten to bits,lumps,bumps and all that.
Recent research claims that mixing painkillers (e.g. half dose paracetamol +half dose ibuprofen) works better than a full dose of either. I had mine out Wednesday after using mixed doses and it was sheer bliss when he bludger went! Real toothache needs extraction or dynamite IMO. Good luck with finding emergency treatment. They can get one to A and E at our hospital.
Thanks for that seadog.God do not fancy more aneasthetic especially for something like a tooth.But can I stand anymore of this pain.More co.codamol going in.One big problem with this (constipation)
