root canal treatment - NHS and private costs & pros and cons

moggitymog

Finished root treatment last tuesday, really bad pain almost instantly, went back to dentist thursday and got antibiotics again, still in bl**dy agony, struggling to last 4 hours between pain killers and it's driving me mad:(
Has anyone got any ideas, don't know how i will last until tuesday when they will reopen
Thanks in anticipation

Ring an emergency dentist.......the nerve could possibly be trapped, this happened to me and I was in agony over a weekend:( I sympathise!!

There are two dentists that I know of, who are mse members, one is toothsmith and the other Terah (or terah or teerah). They are not online at the moment though, sorry. I hope you can get it sorted soon.

Also, posting this in the health and beaty sub-board of the Families etc. board, might get you better response.

codiene!! got the buzz yet? . Its used alot down erre!

Would something like salty warm water help? I remember when I had to have a tooth pulled out when i was little.

just keep thinking that surely the antibiotics will kick in soon, if not, i may end up a dress size smaller, well every cloud and all that...

Hi, sorry i've got no real advice but i had the same problem over Christmas. The emergency dentist didnt finish the job, my face swelled to double its size. I had to have it all re-opened to. I have real sympathy for you!!

double it's size:eek:, may get worse then instead of better?
