your teeth nerves are dying... you should buy some minor annesthesia... they sell it at any pharmacy like cvs or wallgreens... and only like 5 bucks
Reply:In a case that bad, I would work some overtime, suck it up and go to a dentist ASAP
Reply:well sorry to hear about your problems but you should have taken much better care of your teeth to begin with, true you might not be able to afford dental care at the time being but surely you can afford quality toothpaste and mouth wash and never forget to floss. Now I recommend using Colgate Total to save what you do have or if you're teeth are in pain than try sensodine tooth paste as that it is for sensitive teeth I hear now I don't know what it offers or covers or what not but Colgate Total is the way to go becuase it does work against everything and my preference of mouthwash is listerine so try that but it sounds like you need something with more floride in it so look for that, in both tooth paste and mouthwash ( they always have ingrediants listed in them on the back label), and as for the pain Advil works and so does anbesol ( i think thats how its spelt) its a gel that comes in a tube and while they do have it for babies theres also anbesol for adults as well with the same problem, just rub it on to your gums where it hurts and it will numb them but don't rely on this solely use when needed and for the mean time save up money ! get a job with dental coverage and make some sacrifices by buying ONLY what is needed, while it might not seem like it, but from what I hear about the condition of your teeth you most liklely have plaque on them as well and tooth and gum diseases don't only affect the mouth area but can lead to heart problems and lung roblems as well so get it taken care of asap there are always choices good luck !

1.) Go to your local pharmacy and pick up Hurricane (they keep it behind the counter so you'll have to ask), the original flavor tastes horrible so ask them about watermelon or pian colada to see if they carry it. This will numb your tooth - if they don't have hurricane at your pharmacy you could try anbesol or orajel.


2.) Rinse a few times a day with warm salt-water to prevent an infection from forming, it won't "undo" the damage that's already there, but it should help prevent new damage


3.) Take motrin for pain


4.) Use an ice pack on the sides of your face


5.) Call around to local dental schools in your area. Many of them will do your dental work very cheap or even free because you are allowing a student (with supervision) to work on you.





*** There's also stuff called re-fillit at your local drug store down my the toothpaste and orajels and stuff. It comes in a little tub with an applicator, basically your rinse your mouth out with warm water, remove some of the product from the jar, roll into a ball, and mold it to the spot on your tooth that needs feeling. It takes a little while to harden completely, but once it does you can eat and drink on it. Each tub costs about $4.00 and will refill your tooth multiple times. It is only short-term though, so be sure to call the dental school.***





Hope this helps. Good luck and feel better.
