My back teeth on the left side have been throbbing for three days now. I'm six weeks pregnant, which rules out any major pain relievers, and my dental insurance doesn't kick in for another month. My doc gave me permission to use ibuprofin, but it only works for an hour or so. I've tried salt rinse, baking soda, ground clove, vanilla, heat, ice - nothing seems to work. I'm going on less than two hours of sleep a night. Does anyone have ANYTHING that might help? I've got a husband who works all day, a six year old with a thousand questions, and an eighteen month old - I have to get some relief. Any suggestions, no matter how strange, would be a great help. Thanks!

whoa-first of all i would not use ibuprofin! it can cause bleeding while pregant! and i would also go see a dentist for sure-if you are in this much pain you probably have a tooth that is infected-get it checked soon! other than that- it seems that you have tried just about everything! you probably need antibiotics and a root canal treatment or extraction. good luck, and im sorry your in so much pain.

Toothache pain relief?
I have a tooth that is starting to cause ALOT of pain during work and at night. I have been taking Ibuprofen constantly and it only works for a couple hours then the pain is back again. I have tried the numbing ointments (that taste aweful and only last about 30 minutes) nothing has worked good enough. my dad has said something about putting clover oil on the tooth or something like that?? WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO RELIEVE TOOTHACHE PAIN?? I am waiting for my dental insurance to go into effect so I can go to a dentist to get this fixed so I need relief until then...

Save 80% at licensed Dental Providers in the US. Call their number, 210-542-2468. My friend Melissa saw a dentist 30 minutes after signing up and saved over 50%. She had to get two teeth pulled one of which was broken down to the gum.

i need help finding a dentist?
My mother is a great mom and a wonderful Grandmother. It kills me her youngest daughter to see her in pain. She has bad teeth and some of them and have even broke off. She cant eat certain meats because of this,and unfortunately she cant afford any kind of dental insurance. I was wondering if someone could suggest some kind of service like medicaid or something to that nature,a free clinic, she needs a substantial amount of work done and my older sister and I can help with payments or something, I don't know and cant stand to see her in pain. PLEASE any suggestions will be Help. Thank you

You didn't say where she's located but there are dental schools in almost every state. They do excellent treatment and the fees are reasonable, as the students do the work. This may be your best bet although the treatments take time to be accomplished. There are also clinics, usually privately funded with donations, that do treatments at reduced rates. Each large town usually will have something like this.

What is the cheapest way to restore tooth enamel?
I'm looking for a relatively low-cost way to restore tooth enamel. I know that all of those toothpastes and mouthwashes out there simply strengthen tooth enamel. So, what's the cheapest way, preferably safe and/or through a dentist, that I can restore tooth enamel? I only have minor wear on the ends of my eight front teeth. Generally, veneers, caps, crowns, etc. are thousands of dollars to get. If that's my only option, can anyone give me a price range, per tooth, for any of these options? I have Blue Cross Blue Shield Medical and Dental insurance, so if you do too and have had similar procedures, I'd especially appreciate your advice. Thanks!

tip: try to drink from a straw as much as possible. this will help to refrain from losing tooth enamel. find some time and go to your nearest store; try finding a toothpaste and a mouthwash or anything else you can find that says they help strengthen your tooth enamel (Crest has some). look for 'fluoride' in them. there are 3 types and all 3 are good. refrain from using whitening toothpastes; they don't work and weaken your enamel. hope this works! :]

3-weeks post partem and got my wisdom teeth removed? was it a mistake?
bc I have a newborn to tend to and have horrible numbness now for 4 hrs still from the novocaine and I hate it. but my dental insurance expires aug1 so that's why i had 2 get it done and 2 morrow is my b-day and didn't want2 spend my bday like that. so tell me, was it a dumb thing 2 do? I will be 25 tommorow and should've had them removed at 16 like most ppl, but they weren't impacted or anything just wanted 2 get rid of them.
--------------------
No, sounds like you did the right thing to me! Numbness is more bearable than pain...besides it will be over soon,had you not gotten them removed,they'd still be causing you pain and you'd have no insurance to cover it! Have a great Birthday :)!!!!!!!! p.s. I would stay away from the high dose meds, they can leave you too groggy and aren't recommended while breast feeding.....Tylenol is still you best bet!

Doctor or dentist for this pain?
Here's the story... I went to the dentist last Wednesday for a filling. This time it was for the 2nd to the last molar, about 3 weeks ago I went for a filling for the last molar. Thursday morning when I woke up I felt this horrible pain on the gum-line of my last molar and it looked redder than the rest of my mouth. I took motrin for the pain and brushed my teeth after every meal & rinsed with Listerine and it works as a temporary fix but the discomfort comes back. I was hoping it would go away by doing all these things. Well, it's Monday now & the pain feels weird. It feels like the pain goes down my throat and my ear aches a little. When I touch that part of the gum with my tongue it burns. My question is, should I go to the dentist or can I go to my doctor? I don't have any dental insurance.
--------------------
You will need to go back to the dentist. You should call them and explain what is going on. They may agree to look at it for free since they did the work on it. I had problem with a filling I got a while back and my dentist agreed to see me and fix the problem at no charge.

Would you be upset with ex if....?
My ex is very much a control freak. I have taken my children (boy 8 , girl 12) to my dentist the past 3 years and have not requested for her to pay her portion (52%) of the bill. I took them the other day, and have to take them back to have cavaties filled. My son may require seeing an orthodontist in the future. I carry their dental insurance. My ex is upset with me because I took them without her knowledge. She told my son that it was "her job" to take them to all appointments. My question is: Would you be upset if your ex took the kids to the dentist and did not ask you to pay your portion?..
--------------------
You said it right Jeff, it's just a control thing with her and she may be mad still about the divorce or by who you're dating now etc..I think it's great you take them to the dentist and spring for the bill. Keep up the good work my man. I'm a child support paying dad too and I got ripped off in court but who cares. I can look my kids in the eyes and know I've been there for them. Take care...
