SM33. I've used it for ulcers but it's suppose to be good for inflamed gums aswell.

I know you dont want to hear this BUT ........A visit to the dentist..the pain is trying to tell you something :'(
-
have tried beer and rum and it does work however that also makes it worse when the alcohol wears off

the nurofen says to only take maximum 6 capsules every 24 hrs, panamax says the same, should i only be taking 6 all up or can i take 6 of each? i normally wont touch painkillers for anything but this is getting abit much
-
Shane.
i'l help ya out....which tooth is it?
-
OOH the pain of it. How long have you been chewing the nurofen & panamax/panadol? I know they are the medications that my dentist recommends (the one I work with). Here's hoping the morning comes quickly so that you can visit the dentist to relieve your pain. He may offer Antibiotics and a chance to sort the problem out a bit later on.
I couldn't be sure that sm33 would work on this TA by the sound of it:)
No need to hate the dentist cause he's the one who can fix your problem. (I agree with hating his bill at the end of treatment though).

Navara that's a crack up ;D

Cloves works well...you can buy clove oil and just dab a bit on and it numbs the tooth...works a treat
-
been eating painkillers for a week and a half now and have decided no more its the law, at this stage i couldnt really care what the dentist charged me. Hope my dentist isnt on this forum
-
GEt 2 the dentist ASAP.
You have probably picked up a secondary infection in the gum as well if its a molar/pre molar (know pain from experience).
Straight Scotch. Sugars in bundy/beer wont be helping either!!
:cheers: (scotch only)

Could we have a medical section please :cheers:

An ice skate and a large rock maybe ;D...sorry mate, been where you are and a dentist is the only solution

Do you ever go fishing?
ou must have a couple metres of old fishing line around the house,
tie to tooth, slam the front door, sit down, drink rum, view myswag, no problem.

You can buy 'toothache drops' over the counter at the chemist. Very similar to clove oil only specifically designed for your purpose.

I've used that product - soak a bit of cotton wool ball in it and jam it into the cavity, 20 minutes later no pain, and good for 6-8 hours. Tastes a bit like petrol though, but that goes away.
-
Same problem. Went to my dentist, refilled and thought problem solved. Nope it got worse so back to dentist and one referral later I went to the Endodontist. Sure Wayne we can fix that but it will be next week and it will cost you, wait for it, $2775 for a Root canal. DOH! No thanks I will get it pulled. Forgot to mention another 2000 for a crown.
Ka ching ka ching

Often there's an infection stirring things up and dentists seem to like to treat that before they do anything, which is the opposite of what us doctors like to do which is fix the problem and then let antibiotics mop up the stragglers afterwards.
So, maybe a trip to the GP for some antibiotics can give you some relief before you can get to see your dentist.
:'( ;D :'( ;D :'( ;D

I tend to agree. Having been smashed in the mouth with a cricket ball at 21 I have (Had) 7 root canals done over the last 20 years and had infections in the eye tooth almost continually. just last Month could no longer save the root as it was fractured in 3 places as were two others and had them removed. Needed to get a bridge made while I wait for the implants. I've spent 43K on my mouth over the last 20 years.
For pain Nuro Plus has been the best and you can take it with Panadol. The doctor could give you some thing better. I find Tramol good for moderate tooth pain (Not much good for any thing else though) and not that I'm proud of this but I spent the last 3 Month on 40mg of Oxycontin as when I had the mold done for the bridge half the tooth was pulled out. I ell you it's not fun getting off that Shit.
if you do get antibiotics ask for a combination of Amoxill and Flagyl. The Flaygl works better in areas like root canal. No I'm not telling, not a Doc just suggesting from experiance. I think Patrol would agree with the Flagyl though. PS. You can't drink with it though. Makes you feel sick
So hang on to them if you can
-
Flagyl is used for anaerobes (bugs than don't like oxygen) and not one I would have thought of for the mouth but I might try it next time!
Amoxil is the dentist's favourite but bacterial resistance is becoming common. Augmentin (= amoxil with a second drug included to counteract what the bacteria do to resist the amoxil) is OK for anaerobes too, so that is what I had tended to use for dental infections.
You're right about the Flagyl and alcohol. It is similar to Antatabuse, a drug sometimes given to alcoholics to dissuade them from drinking! You will chuck!
-
sounds like the old root canal for you MR GU
-
Booked in for tuesday 11 30, looks like the tooth is coming out. the dentist said to alternate between nurofen and panadol.
Bring on tuesday. does anyone know how long i'll have to be off the sherbet for after i get the hooter ripped out? i have a wedding to go to on thursday and i would say it will be a big night.
-
i use Grapper that dose it for me and nurifin plus dose it too with the grapper take a good swig and swirl it around the mouth it was sting like mad but after a while its kills the nerve in that tooth
or if that don't work well go say hello to the dentist witch i hate
Good luck
Chris

Hey guys i'm a dentist. SteveandViv and Patrol got it right. Flagyl is the mainstay for deep seated suspected infection and combines with amoxil (augmentum) really well so its covers all bases of the mouth bacteria thats causing the pain. This combination in well known with dentists.
I said suspected because the primary cause of pain is from pulpal inflammation ie inflammation/ irritation of the stuff inside the tooth. Theres heaps more blood being pumped into this tooth and thats why it throbs.... so nurofen being (an anti inflammatory) should work the best.
Ifs its caning then take both, but ask pharmacist or GP bc i dont know your medical history.
removal of this tooth is a good option because trying to do a root canal on a tooth like this wont be too succcessful. So it'll be a $2500 gamble where the success is largely dependant on the skill of the dentist.
Hey PM me if you need more advice

Reading all the thread responses on dental treatments and the number of swaggers responding you would almost think half the swaggers who visit this website, have a dental chair as an optional accessory in their camper trailer.
Turn up to a swaggers national meet, to swap CT stories, have a beer, BBQ & root canal therapy all under canvas.
I'm thinking of the theme song from the opening scenes in MASH with campers all running from their tents at a Swaggers Meet with lignocaine and a generator operated dental drill as a fellow swagger staggers around with a tooth ache.

18 years after my first appointment to get rid of 2 very suspect wisdom teeth, I finally actually turned up to get them removed just recently. 10am appointment 12.15 two teeth lighter. 4.30 relaxing with a XXXX. Went down very nicely. Enjoy your wedding! :cheers:

Hi Mike... I'm wondering how can you say that root canal treatment "on a tooth like this wont be too successful", without knowing anything about the problem?? I've read the thread carefully and can't glean any information on the tooth's structural integrity, or suitability to save. It's fair enough if the OP has chosen extraction after getting advise on options/cost/chances of success etc, but I don't know how you have come to your conclusion / advice based on the information that, basically, it hurts like a bitch. Have I missed something?
No offence, just asking
Cheers,
buff
-
It won't be successful on your wallet, that's for sure!!
I was in a similar situation to you, tooth was one back from the lower wisdom tooth. $120 to remove or $$$'s to repair/fix/diagnose.
Got a nice gap there now and don't miss it for 1 second.
PS if you get it removed then before you do google "dry socket", you might then have second thoughts about sinking piss or having a smoke for a while.....
-
it is the one infront of the lower wisdom, i have reduced risk straight away from getting dry socket as i dont smoke, no history of it, and i dont dont any form of birth control, although if i have a massive night that can sometimes be birth control for a couple of days if you know what i mean ;D
-
I avoid dentists too...
If anything else hurt that bad you (and me) would just get it fixed.
try walking into the public health (dentist ) if its really bad sometimes they will do it.(scream/moan a bit and they might just help you)

Hardware store bag of concrete you only need a cupfull ;D ;D

Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth
by Pam Ayres
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth,
And spotted the perils beneath,
All the toffees I chewed,
And the sweet sticky food,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth.
I wish I'd been that much more willin'
When I had more tooth there than fillin'
To pass up gobstoppers,
From respect to me choppers
And to buy something else with me shillin'.
When I think of the lollies I licked,
And the liquorice allsorts I picked,
Sherbet dabs, big and little,
All that hard peanut brittle,
My conscience gets horribly pricked.
My Mother, she told me no end,
"If you got a tooth, you got a friend"
I was young then, and careless,
My toothbrush was hairless,
I never had much time to spend.
Oh I showed them the toothpaste all right,
I flashed it about late at night,
But up-and-down brushin'
And pokin' and fussin'
Didn't seem worth the time... I could bite!
If I'd known I was paving the way,
To cavities, caps and decay,
The murder of fiIlin's
Injections and drillin's
I'd have thrown all me sherbet away.
So I lay in the old dentist's chair,
And I gaze up his nose in despair,
And his drill it do whine,
In these molars of mine,
"Two amalgam," he'll say, "for in there."
How I laughed at my Mother's false teeth,
As they foamed in the waters beneath,
But now comes the reckonin'
It's me they are beckonin'
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth.

Don't play with the hole. My usual speel is "No
Smoking for 24hrs, No beach volleyball for 24hr & try not to play or poke anything in the hole" plus a few other things.
By the way, was there any cutting and stitching???? ;D ;D ;D ;D cheers rellbell
-
half of the tooth was missing not sure how but it was, so the gum had actually grown in where the piece was missing so they had to cut the gum out from in the hole and around the tooth, i think they put four stitches in. its still quite tender this morning but it will be right tomorrow casue i have a wedding to go to :cheers:

Just had root canal done yesterday after ignoring a throbbing pain for 1 month. As a bit of a fainter, and with my tooth presumably opened up to about my brain, I didn't really need to hear : "Wow Cam, you should see all the pus coming out of that cyst, quick nurse, put another bib on his shirt!"
Great bedside skills there buddy....
Still, feel much better now, and to his credit he called this morning to check how I was going.
Good luck with yours,

I can't get over the fact this thread on toothaches has over 50 responses and 788 views ( hot forum topic). The level of technical advice from swaggers on bush dentistry is amazing also.
I'm starting to think this thread with all it's deep myswag dental technical advice should be moved a technical/ mechanical forum folder.
I hate to think what would have happened if somebody put up a post suffering constipation / blockage and the amount of myswag medical / technical advice you would receive if this toothache thread is a comparison to go by.
