Also rather handy is the Hydrogen Peroxide solution (for oral use) that you can buy from Supermarkets / Pharmacies . Handy y tip is to mix it with mouth wash. It's what my dentist recommends after I have had bone and gum transplants - so is pretty good at killing any sort of infection IMO.... Taste bloomin awful tho

Bone and gum transplants? That's just too good a line to leave sitting idly in the middle of a sentence. Details please. Sorry PocketLady, your abscess will have to go on to the back burner while we get to the bottom of this. |

Lol my family were not blessed in the genetics dept when it comes to teeth etc.
My father has an entire mouth of implants and i need a fair few unfortunately... But to have implants one needs the bone to screw them into.... Another genetic failing - and then you need to have gum to cover the new bone - which again i didn't have... So as all good womem do - I shop! Found some great bone and gum at the dentists - and made some pretty fine choices lol - even if I do say so myself.
For the less squeamish - it's amazing.. Transplant bone is like bits of honeycomb in a red mesh which you simply lay on the original bone and hope that they take, Then the gum is like the thinest slither of sashimi with is stitched on top.
God its amazing

I had a similar problem a couple of months ago PocketLady and the best pain suppressant was to take paracetemol and ibuprofen alternately every couple of hours. Mine also happened at the weekend and this is what I was advised to do by the emegency dental helpline, and it certainly helped until I was prescribed the anti-biotics which evenyually cured the abcess.

OK this is very interesting for me because I had some bridgework done recently. I was told it would last between 1and 10 years but then my best course of action would be implants. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. Where are you having the work done and are you happy with it? Can you wear something temperairy while you wait for bone-grafts/implants to heal? Is it so expensive that only a woman of your stature/status can afford it? |

A full set of implants in the UK £20k-£25k - this is in my future since i'm losing all the bone as fast as a fast thing.
BTW, pocketlady - I'm feeling terrible about suggesting draining your own abscess since others mentioned it as being very dangerous. I've done it so many times it didn't occur it could be very bad for you.
Note to self to never post on medical things again

I'm voting for the A&E option. Even if they don't do anything proper to help, some of the non prescription pain killers they've got tucked away are magnificent.

For scardy people like me
I get temporary fillings from boots and fill me own teeth.
The kit is ready mixed and costs about £5.
this lasts for about 6 months then you have to top it up.
The pot has enough filling for 3 or 4 goes
Use pain killers to stop the pain then clean out the hole with hydrogen Peroxide
on a cotton bud, let it dry , or use another cotton bud to dry it.
pop the filling putty into the hole and wait an hour before eating or drinking
hope this helps

The reason why i get it done so far from home is... a) Get a holiday b) Get it at a discounted dollar - although that plan is quickly heading south c) Have greater protection / compensation should they screw it up. Yes you can - I have a Maryland (SP?) that i can have stuck back in almost immediately - give or take an hour. I won't lie - it is expensive - but IMO worth every penny so far..... |

Well I woke up today and am still pretty swollen, but I managed not to wake up in the night in complete agony so that's a start. It doesn't look pretty but I'm not in any pain at the moment, so I'm hoping I'll be able to hold out til tomorrow when everything will be open again. If the pain starts again then I'll head up to A&E but I'd rather avoid sitting around for 5 hours in a hospital if possibly, will be so busy today as everyone who would normally go to their doctor will be in A&E. Thanks for all the advice guys. I especially love all the people telling me to drink lots of alcohol. Surely that must be the best answer!  For scardy people like me

Yeah I have used this before for emergency fillings and the like. Problem is that I don't actually have a cavity or a hole in my tooth anymore since the dentist filled it again, just have something pretty nasty under my tooth now...ewww. It's really shocking actually. I was doing some research online yesterday for home remedies and I found a couple of threads on some forums, but the posts were all by Americans who could not afford dental treatment and who didn't have medical insurance. So many of them were all having to do their own dental treatment as best they could because they simply couldn't afford to go to the dentists. And I don't just mean for emergency treatment. They were doing it long term. Some of them had had like five abcesses in the last year and not received dental treatment for any of them, and had drained them themselves. In this country if we need emergency dental treatment we can get it on the NHS for about £10, or free if you are on any kind of benefit. I mean I hate the dentists, but I definitely feel lucky to have that access if I need it now. |

You can get them all pulled out and a set of badly fitting dentures for free, anything worth having you still have to pay for. |
