Perhaps someone here that is still on X can take a post to DoQ from Nana to trend.

Hi Nana! How are you today? Question ❓
You got booted out of the party over yonder?

Yeppers a couple weeks ago or so.

Trying to tame a tooth today, one more day til dentist appt. Pretty sure it is open nerve.

How you doing today?
Woke up about 4am thinkin I will nap a little longer.

Im having the same problem with tooth. Does it feel like your getting a root canal without antiscia? My Dr said my sinus infection is pushing down on my nerves causing pain. Both hot and cold activate it. pain is less and less now on antibiotic. Doing alot of Netty pot. Day 7 now.

So wild. Haven't been here in a long time. Peaked in on Nana's timeline to see what's cookin'. Then I see your posts about my very same current problem...a hurting tooth! Called dentist office on Thanksgiving and left a message. Another doc prescribed me an antibiotic for sinus infection on Saturday....so tooth now seems somewhat improved. Praying i don't have to have an extraction or root canal. Arghhh. Same prayers for you ladies! Oh...dentist said i could come in on Monday...but I had a flat tire. When it rains, it pours.

Sorry you are in the same situation. My dentist is pretty good to get me in quicker than most will.
He gives me a prescription of actual liquid lidocaine, the real stuff.
A bottle usually lasts me for yrs. Well he just refilled it and the last 2 bottles were in 2014, so it lasts a long time.

It is good if your dentist will give it because most of the time when you have a bad toothache it is 24 hrs. to sometimes days before you can get in to see one and it will at least actually numb it to a certain degree.

It has gotten me thro many times. I keep it all the time.

Thanks Nana. Mine has not been hurting consistently... some sensitivity and pings every so often. Started out with sensitivity to cold. Also had a bad sinus infection and just became more aware of the tooth. What struck me as odd is that I would feel it when I walked. With each step i took, i'd get a little ping. Now after 4 days on an antibiotic, that has subsided. It seems like there are no real good options when a tooth goes bad. And the money part is highway robbery Good luck to you.

I have been on antibiotics for 4 days and still hurts. 😔 I have been hitting it with everything imaginable.

I hope you feel well soon.
what is it?
my husband is still recuperating from the micoplasma pneumonia.

Nana hopes he is doing much better. I have been looking at the hydro peroxide lung treatments I saw earlier.
Mine is an abscessed tooth. Planning to have it pulled at the end of the month if I make it that long for a bridge.
Please send him our prayers.🙏

thank you, yes, he is recuperating well as can be with comorbid COPD.
I feel bad for you because I have advanced periodontal disease and am no stranger to tooth abcesses and infection.
Less than a month ago I ended up at the ER because the infection spread and the whole left side of my face swelled.
I try to manage things myself, including the pain, because I don't trust hospitals, doctors and pharma... but sometimes, if its urgent, there's not much else to do.
I often use orajel to numb the pain, ibuprofen also. Swishing with sesame oil will help lessen the pain in the early phases. Keep up swishing with salt water and baking soda water alternately or together, to keep the infection at bay.
Turmeric in a tea will bring down the inflammation, as will a cold compress, and that will aid in pain relief.
I live with this.
God bless and keep yourself comfy.
i prayed for you
