redrose85 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 In the past couple of days, the left side of my jaw plus one tooth has been a bit sore. Tonight, it is full-blown. I don't know why. The gum is inflamed, I have no cavities, wisdom teeth are long gone. I took two extra strength tylenols and they didn't even put a dent in it. My bf wants to take me to the hospital, but I know that they'll just give me painkillers that I already have. I'm just trying to distract myself. OMG it hurts! Link to comment
amystar Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Ouch! I'm so sorry. Do you have an emergency dentist in your area? Sounds like your gum/tooth is infected for some reason. A dentist might be able to do something about it. My dentist is actually on call for emergencies. I don't think you should have to just deal with the pain girl!!!!! Hope you feel better soon, hang in there and take your bf up on the offer and have him take you to a dentist I know how you feel though, I hate going to the doctors!!!! Link to comment
redrose85 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 I think it has something to do with my teeth shifting, cuz I've lodged some double strands of dental floss and it's helping a bit with the pressure and pain. I took a couple T3`s and am just hoping to fall asleep soon. There are no emergency dentists here, sadly. Link to comment
littlestar Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Might be an abscess or an infection. If it gets any worse or you start feeling dizzy i would go to the ER. Link to comment
redrose85 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Someone hates me tonight. I finally got the tooth pain under control, and now have the worst heartburn I've ever had. Who did I piss off??! Link to comment
