One of my teeth has become really sensitive. The one right at the side on the top. I can't see a dentist for a couple of weeks, so any tips on how to stop it hurting?

Numb the pain I reckon. Keep eating ice cream.

Can you not get an emergency appointment?

I don't currently have a dentist.

NHS waiting times in Leeds are usually ages apparantly but managed to get myself an appointment in a couple of weeks.

Would I be able to get an emergency appointment elsewhere? What'll it cost me?

Rinse your mouth with warm salt water can help also helps keep any infection down.

far headingley dental centre are good (but private obv)

This might be worth a try.

This.

Cocodomol also good. Even better if you can get a prescription for the 30/500 strength stuff rather than the over-the-counter 8/500.

My GP prescribed Morphine when my wisdom teeth were driving me up the wall before Xmas. Pain, what pain? Sure did find out the attraction of class A drugs then.

Whisky is also a good local anesthetic; use it like mouthwash.

My Uncle Sam Locke used to undo the spark plug end of a distributor lead while the engine was running and touch it to the offending tooth.

He said it killed the nerve.....

This is gunna seem like a really strange question but do you brush your teeth with your left hand?

I do not. Why?

Cheers everyone else for the other suggestions. Will give them a go :)

Look up emergency dentist services locally. The NHS will run 1 or 2 clinics out of hours in your area. Usually costs about £20

The Uni dental hospital will see you :) try to get a 4th or 5th year student though.

Other options are the hospitals can put you in touch and get an appointment for emergency treatment i think its 40 quid.

I misread the OP, I thought you meant the top of your tooth was sensitive. I have one where the top of it near the gum is worn down and sensitive. Dentist told me it was because I brushed with my left hand and you tend to brush the opposite side more than the near side to the hand that you're using so I was over-brushing it and wearing it away making it sensitive.

Uni dentist is a very good shout, probably your best option imo

I've done exactly the same thing.

clove oil dab it on with cotton bud

    If sensitive to cold buy sensodyne toothpaste and apply with pinky 7-8 times per day.


   If sensitive to hot only--sign of abscess. Antibiotics needed, followed by root canal therapy.


   Obviously see dentist asap. Goon luck.

I've seen the uni students before. Was much more serious tho. Tooth was basically a shell and needed root canal treatment.

Will give it a couple of days and then decide.

Is currently feeling ok. Alcohol works!
