Hmmm, you need pain killers.

I had a bad toothy ache a while back. Phoned a friend and managed to get some co-codamol, two of those on top of 2 Nurofen plus, lying their in bed writhing in pain and then all of a sudden it all kicked in and a pure wave of bliss fell upon me.

Even the following morning I was adamant that it (the tooth) didn't need looking at and had got 'better' during the night.

bks it had, straight down the dentist, got the bugger pulled, no problems since.

You have my sympathy (like that will help) tooth ache is the devil's own spawn.

Take lots of what ever you can find in the medicine cabinet, get back to the dentist and get it pulled out. Then go for a few jars of Guinness or similar, and see how much you can actually get in your mout as apposed to what you spill down your shirt.

Has he got your bite wrong? If its a bit "high" you'll keep knocking it with your opposing teeth. If so you'll need to go back get him to shave a little off it. Eiher way I should go back & get him to have a look.

Great, just what I wanted to read.

I've had toothace for days, finally I will go to the dentist on Wednesday morning where I going to be relieved of £46.50 just for a consultation!

Robbing bds! Just so the bloke can inflict pain on me, great I can't fking wait!

Pesty, the decay of your tooth was almost certainly so deep it was right next to the nerve. Your dentist had to remove the soft decay to stop it progressing. When he then placed the filing this naturally finished up next to the nerve. The combination of the already inflamed and almost exposed nerve and its proximity to the filling is what has resulted in your tooth hurting. Your dentist would have realised this which is why he warned you it could be sensitive with cold/hot. Sometimes this goes away after a while but other times the nerve is irreversibly inflamed and the only course of action is to have the nerve removed (root canal treatment). If the tooth is waking you at night it definately needs to be root treated. Give him a ring and tell him it's waking you at night.

Ask the dentist to take it out.

A few years ago i was up all night with tooth pain it was so bad i was trying to think of ways to pull the bugger out!

Anyway he done something, charged me a fortune and the pain is gone.

Once i forked out the ££££ he then said to me i should get dental insurance... where as i found out from a friend that when he had a similar problem his dentist offered him the insurance first so he would not be forking out so much.

I had one of them for a few years, kept waking up with an aching jaw!

I could feel it if I closed my mouth, the rear molar contacted first. I finally got it ground down, but the daft bint took it off the wrong tooth the first time!!!! Jaysus wept, SHE was the one who put the filling there in the first place. This was in the turd world, so can't knock our good old UK dentists.

My current dentist is great, charged me £258 just yesterday in fact, for five fillings, got rid of the ugly black metal junk in my front teeth, that have tainted my handsome face for years, and replaced them with nice toothy coloured stuff. She evn has a sniffer machine that tells her exactly what colour my teeth are to match the composite.

If you thinks its too much then don't go, after all its only toothache.

You your right, perhaps I'm being unreasonable, I mean £46.50 for a 10 minute consultation is great value!

Throbbing, ear ache....could be infected. Give the dentist a call, he'll prescrie anti-biotics.

I was told when I was having grief with my teeth that constant pain = tooth ache, throbbing pain = abcess / infection. Abtibiotics is the way to go for the latter. Go back & get him to have a look at it if it's still playing up.

Exactly what happened to me. Tooth was filled too close to the nerve...I couldn't cope with the pain so went back and had it refilled. Was a waste of time really because about a year later I ended up having root canal treatment for it anyway.

I'd rather pay £46.50 for 10 mins, than £46.50 and be in there a whole hour.

[boobles]

I spent a whopping £400 on some treatment only to find out that my tooth in question still hurts!
