Mary Lou, just now reading about your toothache. I am so sorry this is happening to you....again! I wish I could wave a magic wand and it would all go away. I am praying that antibiotic will soon kick in and alleviate the pain! Maybe vodka....two ways. Down the throat and poured over the toothache.

Just going all false teeth really sounds appealing right now! Though the vodka is helping at the moment. A distraction with watching a movie too...

when you get the chance, swish some coconut oil in your mouth for about 10 minutes and then rinse with warm salt water. Might help, and worth the try.

I've had that sort of experience when I was having a bunch of dental work done, by the dental school at the University of Washington. I remember that pain. I'm so sorry.

10 days! that's insane.

I'm all out of coconut oil at the moment or I sure would try it!

Next morning - it seems that the antibiotic is kicking in now - much better than last night thank goodness!

Oy!
I've been having dental issues too so I can sympathise. At least my practice can do the whole lot and do it well.

I am seriously thinking I should change dentists. I think my dentist is easing into retirement and this is his way to make it simpler for himself. I just don't know if I should change midstream of the present problem or wait till it's all done though. Decisions!

I suspect you may be right about changing to another practice.

There's no excuse for not doing it properly.

So sorry you are going through this. Hooray for vodka and distracting movies! Oil of cloves can sometimes help, but hopefully by today the antibiotics will kick in.

Morning - and the pain has significantly lessened - thank goodness! Thanks for your sympathies. :-)

I hope you are able to get the care you need sooner. These medical timing things are frustrating.

Thanks. I'm working up the courage at the moment to switch dentists. Don't know why this is hard for me - I guess I don't want to be disappointing the dentist that I am switching from.
