Went back to the dentist weekend before last - had a root canal done late last year and was getting really bad sensitivity again and tenderness. He ground down the composite filling slightly saying it was making me bite more on that tooth than the others - said no way should I be getting sensitivity because the nerve and root had gone (errr yeah I know that - but .... ) Anyway - I don't know if it's the root canal tooth or the other molar next to it (just the two) but .......... hot drinks - cold drinks - hot food - cold food - chewing - ALL give me the most excrutiating pain that goes right through my jaw bone!!!!! It is so bad at times it nearly has me on the floor - and boy does it linger before it dies away. ............. THROBBING like fury - no amount of pain killers !!!!!!!!!!! So it's either the other molar needing root canal - in which case it will have to go cos I can't afford another one OR I reckon I might have an infection in the jaw from the other one!!! Either way - i'm suffering and I ain't happy about it :O(((((

Oh dear, those teeth of yours love, maybe falsers are the answer XXX

Lemon - believe me they seem more appealing by the day !! No joking - I have never had pain like this !!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Anne have a (((((hug))))) hun. Anna did a nice piccy of your knitting over on Arthur's thread !! lol :0) Joan xxxxx

Oh Anne you poor thing :0(((((( I can sympathise. I still remember the pain from when I had an abcess last year (that led to my root canal). Gentle ((((((HUGS)))))) Juliexx

Does your dentist have an out of hours service if not if you are nhs your dentist answerphone should give you a number to ring xxhugxx

No seriously Anne i do sympathise honestly, but I had a premonition before I came in it was the teeth....I think I would have had a doll of the dentist by now and stuck pins in it if I were you XX

Hi Joanie - I saw Anna's drawing lolol Julie :O)) Lindy - I will be calling dentist tomorrow - for an appointment Friday or Saturday (the nice one only works those days) ............. they will squeeze me in because I am in pain - at least they are good in that respect. Lemon - sorry to be so predictable lolol Thanks for all the ((hugs)) xxxx

S'ok Anne I don't like surprises :-) ..........much

Anne Is there a chemist open near you or maybe a superstore. If so go and get Oil of cloves and dab on the tooth it will take the pain away. I sympathise with you nothing worse than earache or toothache. Hope this helps you Love Maisie

oh poor you

Gray - yes I do realise that ........... but that tooth is extremely tender when he does the 'tapping on the tooth' test - the other one behind is fine if it's tapped, but yes I know it's a possibility that tooth is decaying again!!! Either way - it's bad news for me and my pocket - one of them will have to go this time !!!!! Maisie - thanks for the tip xx Ade - ta :O)) xx

Gray - yep the one I had root canal on - hurts a lot when it is tapped on !!!! :O((( so not sure which one is the current problem................

Gray - oh I will be don't worry - on the phone first thing tomorrow LOL

Sorry Anne :o( I don't have any advice to give, but I'm sending you lots of sympathy :o( Helenxxx

Hi Anne, sending you some healing. The only time I've had pain as you describe it has been from an abcess. I do hope you get it sorted soon Vivienne

oh Anne you poor thing....you and those wallies of yours!!! Hope you get to see the nice Dentist soon x x

Oh Anne I do sympathise! I too remember the excruciating pain I had with an abcess last year. Sounds like you need antibiotics. It's possible the infected tooth pulp was not all removed and infection has started up again, perhaps in the bone. See your dentist ASAP. Dee x

Anne - I hope you feel better soon, I know how bad tooth pain can be - I remember the pain from one of my wisdom teeth before I had it removed. I think I would be nagging the dentist to do any work free of charge - sounds like it's something they've done or missed, so they should put it right for free. Good luck with it. Kaye x
