Pain, pain go away...

I have this toothache that doesn't seem to go away. I've taken painkillers for it (mind you, they're bloody expensive!) and yet the pain hasn't subsided. Those of you who've had toothache before know the kind of pain I'm talking about. My brain doesn't seem to function properly. Given the choice, I'd rather have headaches than toothaches. I'm waiting for the pain and the swell to subside, then at least the dentist can do something about it. Hopefully the tooth can be saved and not extracted or else I'd look like a clown with a gap in my teeth. I'm gonna be broke should they recommend root canal. Why it is so expensive when it comes to dental treatment??

  1. My husband just went through tooth pain and he went to the dentist. Whenever you have that bad of a toothache you have to go on antibiotics before they'll even do anything to the tooth. This way it will clear all the infection. To be honest, once those antibiotics take effect it takes most of the pain away... of course it'll come back if you don't have the tooth taken care of. But I'd hate to see you suffer through tooth pain only for the dentist to send you home on an antibiotic for the infection. Just thought I'd letcha know :)

  2. Thanx for d info:). D pharmacist gave me painkillers and something for the swell. The pain subsided for a while but came back after a few days. The tooth was filled years & years ago, somehow the filling broke:(. I can't take antibiotics cos it clashes with my other medication.

  4. Hi Katie:) Welcome to Mumblings!

    Advil, a painkiller to be taken together with 'ampinillin'... I'm not sure what that is, sorry. Perhaps you should see a pharmacist or a dentist.

    But if the toothache isn't so severe, painkillers should suffice.
