toothache :(:(:(

ok everyday i get a really bad toothache, like the worst pain ive ever felt think it might be my wisdom tooth but im not sure.
Anyway, every 4 hrs im taking paramol extra and nurofen (sp), but the pain still comes on and gets to the worst point and stays there for about an hr or 2 b4 dying off so painkillers arent really working. Sometimes it stops the pain comin on and other times it doesnt.
Ive been to dentist to make appointment, but have to wait 2 weeks jus for a checkup as ive had to sign up from scratch after jus moving.

wots the best painkiller for toothache? the chemist is shut today so i cant go bug them again yet.

it hurts so much it brings me to tears

Take Nurofen followed by 2hrs later Codine based painkiller followed by 2 hrs later nurofen and do this..it should help. I was also advised to put rescue remedy directly onto the painful tooth and this helped a lot

Hope this helps, I know toothache has to be one of the worst pains ever

I feel so sorry for you Jenny there really is nothing worse than toothache. If the chemist is shut that's bad news too, can't suggest anything, other than warm salt water just in case it's an abcess? If it's the tooth, then you need some tooth tincture to numb the pain. Good luck, hope u feel better soon.

jenny sorry to hear you have toothache
i had this a few weeks ago and it drove me mad

i used clove oil to numb it

hope you get it sorted soon

is it an abscess jenny cos it sounds like what i had a while ago!!cocodamols good for pain!!

how wud i kno if it was an absess or not?

isnt there an emergency dentist???you shouldnt have to wait 2 weeks, or go to the hospital!!

Hi I had bad toothache once, I asked for advice at Boots' they suggested taking Nurofen plus and Solpadene in between. Mind you I was stronger then so I don't know if that would be too much for you. They both contain Codeine!

When a wisdom tooth starts emerging-it normally creates an abcess-which is b****y painful and i think this is what you have! You will or soon will have a yucky taste in your mouth-which is the puss from the abcess (sorry-i know its horrible!)

If your dentist cannot see you soon,ask your doctor for some antibiotics and the pain will go in a couple of days.

Hi Jenny my OH had really bad toothache last year the whole side of his face was swollen (a crown had broken off). He went to casualty and got some strong pain killers (it was weekend), he got an emergency appointment with the dentist next day. You shouldn,t have to suffer that much pain for two weeks
