Had a little tooth ache 2 days ago, yesterday it stopped hurting in my mouth and was getting pains all over my face, even my right eye was aching.
Went to the docs who told me it was some kind of tooth infection, get to dentist, phoned them up and got an appointment for today. No probs i thought, can handle a night of a little pain. O god how i was wrong. All last night it felt like someone was stabbing and burning my face, to the point of gripping the bed and shouting several load naughty words 🙂 really serious bad pain, not a single minute of sleep.
Anyway finally got to the dentist today, had a quick look and her saying "o my god your mouth is a mess" didn't really calm me.
Told me i have 3 abcesses under my teeth, most awkward place to get them because they have no outlet, basically build up and are bursting to get out but can't hence enormous pain.
The gooey stuff (soz if you are eating) has to have a place to release and the only way to come is through the teeth. Had 2 injections to make my mouth feel like jelly, she then proceeded to drill eight small holes through my teeth to act as canals. Burst each abcess with a small spike and drained them out.
Now have to leave the holes in my teeth for about 10 days while the rest of the crap comes out. Told me it will be worse in the morning as a lot of puss will have gathered in my mouth, great can't wait.

Sure she drilled extra holes though so i have to pay more to get them filled in again 🙂
 
ffs m8 not your week...never mind it could be worse,you could have man flu ..like me....lol in all seriousness there is nothing worse than toothache and ear ache.

Touch wood I've never had an abcess but have heard people who had one but three, just can't imagine what your going through. Hope it's soon sorted mate. You have my sympathy.
 
had my share (and Whitebeams) of Dental pain. Only time i (have to) take pain killers!
 
Got loads of support off the wife last night though: "stop being pathetic it's just a bit of tooth ache"

🙂
 
Half a bottle of scotch would have been down my neck just medicinal purposes of course
 
i feel your pain mate, you ignore these people laughing.... there's nothing funny about it in the slightest... honest lol.

seriously though, hope the dental pains clear up for you asap!
 
If I could, I would take your pain mate... but I can't.... thank god :smash:

Had one night once that I was awake in agony with a bad tooth, not a good experiance:yikes:
 
I've felt your pain, I hope it clears up soon!

Only had 1 abcess and man did that hurt! Half my face swelled like a football.

Drink loads of mouthwash, your gonna have a disgusting taste in your gob in the morning.

Hope you get better very soon.
 
was thinking it may well be an avenue for Richard's 365 drills, diy dentistry!

Would that be the 6mm or 8mm drill, how would you hold the guide in place, and finally would you need to use water or would saliva and puss do the job?

Hmmm, Richard, I think a research grant would be in order here

:builder2:
 
Tooth ache, pain in the arse. Sounds though at least you will have your own teeth after its all over. Had an abcess in the front 40 years ago and the immediate action was to pull the tooth. Ruined my good looks.
 
I had one a few years ago, looked like quosimodo, but there was no pain from it, as you say it the crap needed to get out and it did.....through my cheek !!!

....so which guy on your avator is you? From your description I would say it's the one on the right LOL!
 
I have some cracking painkillers prescribed from when I had a benign lump removed from my foot. They're 500mg paracetomol mixed with 30mg of codeine. I took 2 the other night because I had a headache and they made me feel proper sick and forced me to lie down and fall asleep for 3 hours straight! Cured the headache tho... 😳
