I HAVE A HUGE TOOTHACHE!!! OWWWWWWW!!! I DONT HAVE DENTAL INSURANCE!!!, I'VE TRIED PULLING IT, BUT IT WONT WORK. WHAT SHOULD I DO. SEVERE SENSITIVITY TO COLD AND HOT ON 3 TEETH IN MY MOUTH. HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR WEEKS, NOW IT'S REALLY BAD. HELP!!!!!!!!
--------------------
I'm a Registered Dental Assistant: Any time anything in your mouth hurts as bad as you say it does. It's time for you to go see the Dentist. I understand you don't have insurance, but once you let them know they will work w/you and put you on a payment plan. You don't have to pay the whole fee at once. You can start out w/small payments. They'll explain everything to you before anything it's done. So you don't have to feel obligated. Honey, please take care of your precious teeth. They're the only ones you get. Plus, teeth are a huge part of you when someone starts losing their teeth it affects them emotionally. You're tooth may be dying & may need a root canal. Since nothing has been done about it the pain/discomfort is traveling to the teeth next to it. Until a Dentist look at & tell you what's going on or tell you what to do about the pain. You will keep feeling pain. You mentioned they're sensitive to hot & cold. Try SENSODYNE toothpaste. You can buy @ Target or Wal Mart. I'm currently working @ a Periodontist office, and patients come see us because they either have gum disease and their teeth are loose. Please don't wait until it's too late. You may end up losing your teeth. They may still be safe. By the way, I'm going to school to become a Dental Hygienist. So trust me, I know what I'm talking about.
