I have the most crippling toothache! argh

I've god nearly finished this thing of nurofen, I've had a bunch of asprin too, and 4 glasses of whisky, and this pain is still so much that i can't sleep.

suggestions?

Oooh poor you!
Get it pulled asap. The pain will ony get worse if you dont....unless you get a root canal and they're not much fun either.

I'm about to drive myself to the A&E, i hope they can give me something

Phenomanol? - Is that a new dentist-only pain killer?

Ow ow ow and again I shall say... ow. Yep relief from visiting the dentist is a good thing ..

And failing that oil of cloves from your local pharmacy will go a long way to relieving it if you haven't got yourself sorted yet!

You can just use a clove by biting down on it the taste isnt that great but it will deal to the pain

good luck

Get the offending tooth/teeth whipped out ASAP

Anything else is just a temporary form of relief and the longer you leave it the worse it gets

Good advice T.W.R.... I had the same problem in Wanaka two years ago...had just arrived there for the night and the pounding started...found a dentist the next morning, he could fit me in, in one hour...it was a wisdom tooth and was out in less than 30 seconds once the injection kicked in...$120 well spent...

Exactly what I have had done ... but a good side till you can deal is oil of cloves or toothache drops from the pharmacy.

Go and see a DENTIST.

Hairy-arsed motorcyclists, generally speaking, can't help.

Going to A&E isn't going to help either, unless you REALLY like waiting.

Yeah I found out the hard way too

but my incident involved being snowed in and not being able to get anywhere for 3days, drained the household of all forms of pain relief and zero sleep over the three days

getting the buggers taken out was better than winning lotto

Had a incident earlier this year to where I had to get a couple of teeth taken out but I had a couple of days feeling really crook & then a abscess came up over night and it was into the dentist asap.

You will note that the A&E plan was posted at 2am. Would probably, therefore, involve less waiting than going to the dentist.

Ouch! Ooow poor you! Toothache is a killer innit? Couple of years ago I had toothache start on Good Friday when everyone was on holiday. Used up all pain relief in the house and the neighbours. By Saturday I thought I was going to die from the pain. The only dentist that would help me was a little Iranian lady, Waffa Madi, and she has hands of velvet! Thank Allah for Waffa!

Ha yeah with the pain involved in toothache you can understand why pulling good teeth is used as a form of torture
