Tooth ache 😖 !?!

[Starrlight]

Since yesterday I’ve had a toothache and I hope it’s not something like a cavity... buuuut the dental offices are closed except for emergencies. I guess this isn’t an emergency now but what if I end up loosing a tooth because the closings may last so long? What to doooo 🤔?!?

[LilyAnnepuppy]

Star, how much does it have to hurt to be an emergency?

[Starrlight in reply to LilyAnnepuppy]

Hmm yeah ... it’s happened this type of pain before and it went away but I’m anxious about it...I think I will call them up today. Thanks!

Could you be clenching your jaw? I had pain and finally realized I was clenching. I was amazed I didn't realize what I was doing.

[Starrlight in reply to All_alone]

I really don’t think so. I called in and left a message.

[All_alone in reply to Starrlight]

I hope they can see you soon.

[Starrlight in reply to All_alone]

Me too! Thanks 🙏

Hi Star.

I think “except for an emergency” means you may want to wait a day at most and if it still hurts, call later to have the DDS return your call so you can ask him. We all have difficulty calling during doctor’s off times but that is part of his job and he expects it, especially now.

I know whenever I have a tooth problem, for some reason I go through thinking about it for quite a while before I face reality. I have a hard time deciding what may be going on.

Is your pain throbbing ? Does it hurt most of the time no matter what you do ? Salt and warm water rinse can help to cut down infection.

I don’t think you should wait more then that because if it is an infected tooth, it needs to be treated. Most of my little cavities get found before I have pain during a routine exam.

Good luck.

[Starrlight in reply to Poodie]

It’s not throbbing and doesn’t hurt constantly but for the second day today. I left a voice message. The office was closed. If I don’t hear from them Monday I’ll call back. 🙏 thanks

[Poodie in reply to Starrlight]

Good.

Hello

I had a tooth that had given me quite a lot of trouble for a few years even though I also has a root canal done to it anyway a couple of weeks ago it started hurting and one night it woke me up , the pain was so bad for a couple of days I ended up at the dentist just before things are as bad as they are now and ended up having to have it out

But sometimes you get toothache and it just goes , so try not to worry to much take some pain killers and see if it settles , fingers crossed it does

Take Care x

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

🙏 thanks hmmm I have teeth anxiety... I’m always worrying about my teeth when nothing at all is wrong. But this does hurt. I’ve had similar pain that came and went so maybe this will too. 🤞how is your tooth situation going?

[Hidden in reply to Starrlight]

Its fine now , you will be ok x

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

((((((((((((Hug)))))))))))

[Hidden in reply to Starrlight]

Let me know how you get on , chances are it will go again , try not to worry x

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

Thanks you are so thoughtful... well I woke up with no pain so far. Wohoo

[Hidden in reply to Starrlight]

There you go , many times I have had toothache and thought O no this is it , lasted a few days , didn't get any worse and then just went as quick as it came leaving me wondering what was all that about then

Fingers crossed it stays away , sounds positive because usually when something is really wrong well you know about it and it does not come and go

You will be fine x

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

Yeah I think it will be fine... 😅 so off to worry about the next thing right?! 😉

How are you today?

[Hidden in reply to Starrlight]

O you made me laugh so of to worry about the next thing , that is me

I am not coping one bit if I am honest I have the worse stomach upset ever and it will not settle so I am thinking bad things plus I just cannot cope at all with the fear of what this virus is doing to the world , if I am honest I am petrified x

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

(((((((((Huge hug)))))))))) I hear you my friend. I wish I could bring you some ginger drink I have for upset stomachs. I also wish I could bring a cup of okayness for you. Sometimes I think it’s really not okay too. When I woke up I was feeling petrified too. But most likely I think we will be okay. I’m going for a hike in the sun and that will take my mind off things.

[Hidden in reply to Starrlight]

I wish you could bring me all those things to and the hike in the woods sounds so lovely

Enjoy it ! x

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

I’m tearing up now and it’s been happening the last three days hmmm 🧐 why? Maybe it’s from stress built up. I wish I could just straight up have a good cry.

[Hidden in reply to Starrlight]

You are not on your own I am having such a rough time just clinging on to each day ad trying to get through it but we will

Watch a sad movie that will help you have a god cry , that's what I do x

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

Awwww 🥰 im so sorry. Yes clinging on is a good description. Sad movie aaaahhhh good idea! Love you my friend ❤️

[newbie1956 in reply to Starrlight]

What an adventurous, gutsy, spunky girl. Good for you.

[Starrlight in reply to newbie1956]

Wha?! Why is that Newbie?

[newbie1956 in reply to Starrlight]

Oops, i was referring to your plan to "hike" from another one of your post. Sorry...

[Starrlight in reply to newbie1956]

Oh that makes sense. I thought that may have been it. Thank you so much beautiful Newbie! That makes me happy. 😊 🙏 How are you doing?

[newbie1956]

I'm cool. With my hubby & daughter at home, plenty to eat and seeing my friends on Zoom ( our virtual Christian meetings are very encouraging as always.

Take that hike often

[Starrlight in reply to newbie1956]

Awesome! You sound great! I’m so glad to hear that. 😊 Yes I will. Just took another hike yesterday.

[newbie1956]

Happy kids and a dog will follow

Tooth pain can get severe! If the pain got out of control or intolerable, and otc meds don't work,you can use mouthwash soaked on a cottonball with alcohol, or alcohol itself a pain reliever until you can receive proper dental care. Don't swallow the mouthwash ofcourse!

[Starrlight in reply to UFC80]

The pain seems to have disappeared. Now I just have sensitivity in areas.

[UFC80 in reply to Starrlight]

I'm Glad for you! 😏

[Starrlight in reply to UFC80]

Thanks sweet of you 😊
