Re: Ugh

yes the tooth is half out....I wish I could get into a fight so the fucker would be punched out. Ugh

ok this is what you got to do

I know it will hurt like hell , but do it,


1) Brush and floss vigorously ( uh like that word ) between the wisdom tooth and the adjacent molar ( that means the one next to it ) after that do tons and tons of mouth wash , especially on that area where it hurts.

2) Take a pain killer - ibuprofen with something in the stomach

3 ) Go to sleep


repeats step one every 6 hours and take a pain killer if the pain is still there

*Avoid going up stairs, avoid anything that will give a rise on your blood pressure because it will increase the pain.

*Dont eat hot and spicy stuff. eat Ice-cream for today

It seems that you will need a surgical extraction so go to you Dentist asap

Don't wait any longer becase it will become an infection if you don't treat it soon.

Hope this could help , keep me updated.

Re: Ugh

The good news is it should be less expensive being on the top...besides how much does 1 upper wisdom too extraction cost $300 - $500?


Why don't you have insurance kamal, it's important, especially as you (we) age.

Re: Ugh

I have medical, not dental
$500 should be ok I guess, but seeing that this would be a bit of surgery to get to the tooth, I presumed it'd be +1K?

That's fucking nuts! I can get a tooth pulled for £40 at my dentist and thats a private one as in not NHS.

I've had some serious tooth pain in the past and when the shit is at it's worst, (ie. it feels like a hot rusty dagger is being twisted inside your gum), as you would experience with an abcess. My recommendation for what it's worth, is 2 Ibruprofen, 2 Co-Codomol and a couple of blue Diazepam every 4 hours. This will fend of the pain until you can get hold of some antibiotics (Penecilin or Amoxycilin). When you get these, double up the dose and the pain will fuck off for good within 48 hours.

Of course it's best in the long run to get the bastard taken out because the pain will always come back but that's a last resort for me because i hate going to the dentist.

Yeah and then Kamal can take a visit to the Gastoenterologist to get his stomach unfried

You are going to give him all that just because he has a toothache? , what you posted up there is the protocol for a post op. major surgery.

The ibuprofen is enough for what he is got , to prescribe the other stuff you mentioned you would need to take a look at his xrays + do a clinical examination and last but not least a Medical History questionary .

Re: Ugh

I took extra strength tylenol post op for surgery involving my teeth/bite and found it to be more than adequate even though the dr. prescribed something heavier but I wanted to avoid that route.

That heavier prescription stuff is usually "Tylenol 3" with the extra codiene.

Re: Ugh

Just a thought.

But if you have any Universities close to you check and see if they have a dental school and see if you could get it done there sometimes they give discounts. I dont know if they would do a procedure like this but its worth a try. Contrary to what some might think they actually are pretty good. I took advantage of it while I was in school and didnt have any insurance. Although I didnt have any major dental procedures done.

Re: Ugh

I can remember getting my wisdom teeth pulled. The feeling afterward was awesome. I ended up eating a hamburger that same night and didn't have any swelling.

Re: Ugh

Hey man, definitely see a dentist asap. I had an impacted wisdom tooth, let it grow, and when I finally got it removed (GA and all for at once) the molar next to it had gone bad/infected. Had to get a root canal because of that (about 10 years ago), and then a crown. Was Ok for about 9 years then the tooth get infected again (actually the bone underneath) and they finally had to surgically extract that tooth. Now I have to get an implant and a special crown...implant procedure is next week and is going to cost about $2500 and the crown probably another $1500. So, bottom line, take care of the wisdom tooth now for $500-$1000 before you end up spending 4 times that much down the line!
