Toothache

Oh bluebelleyou poor thing, just reading your post brought tears to my eyes, dental pain is hideous. Everything is always worse at night especially if your on your own as well. Hope you managed to get a bit of sleep and get seen asap today.

all I can do is send lots of sympathy, bluebelle. Sounds as if you were very patient with your our of hours call, think I would have been screaming at the lack of understanding. Fingers crossed for some help today.

Oh bluebelle poor you I do sympathise. I thought my head was coming off when I had a similar problem which didn't settle until I was given Metronidazole and had antibiotic beads put in the cavity. I hope you get some relief this morning.

Do hope you get to see someone and get pain relief this morning BB. Sounds awful.

Thank you so much for replying envious it's now 3 50 am and I have only had an hours sleep I m in so much pain and I really appreciate someone speaking to me sorry to be such a winge but I live on my own and there's no one to hold my hand haha I will get an emergency appointment when daylight comes (hopefully ) I did ask for them to take it outa s it had flared up a month ago not as bad as this though Thanks again

You have my sympathy Blue Belle. I had a back tooth abcess so bad i couldn't open my mouth more than room enough to get a toothbrush in. All I had was paracetamol also. The right antibiotic was the cure for me I had been receiving penicillin but it didn't work for me. I also got the root canal and crown because I couldn't see a oral surgeon soon enough to get the tooth out. Best to keep the tooth of course. I had to be sedated for the root canal because I still couldn't open my mouth wide enough. I hope you get the right antibiotic. I don't remember what it was but I'm in the U.S. And a lot of our meds have different names. Positive thing was a lost some weight I needed to loose!
