This is the 3rd Abcess on the same tooth in 6 weeks! The first one, face a bit puffy but not too bad, 2nd one, couldn't see the ground as cheek was so big, now this one!!! had tooth drilled to drain and root canal, thought that was it, now the pain is gross. Got appt at 10.40am tomorrow. Fed up with this now as going on hols very soon, but can't go like this! Kim

Poor wee soul, hope they sort it tomorrow.

Kim I can thoroughly recommend extra strong pain killers and a bottle of wine! lol. I don't care what they say about not mixing the two, when you're in that much pain there's nothing else you can do! I had a similar problem after having a wisdom tooth out. so you have my total sympathy. Hope you can get a bit of rest (((((BIG HUGS))))) Jeanette x

well this is 3 with tooth ache any more ann xx

oh kim,sounds really bad,and when this happens,it seems the whole body wants to join in,and give you grief. sounds like you need penicillin,and ime sure thats what will be prescribed,if so make sure you take the whole dose(but not in one go) :o) nothing i can say will help...i just wish you well! bryan.

Oh blimey! Another tooth problem - just added to the other thread! I send you sympathy by the bucket load....recently had abscess myself...absolute TORTURE! Mega antibiotics are the order of the day....my dentist told me to double up the dosage for the first two days. Hope your pain soon subsides....and you can enjoy your holiday! Dee (Bexleyheath) xx

Ouch......... I hate the dentist!!!!!!! Nightmare! Hope you feeling ok soon..... and not as scared as me!!! Stel.xxxxxx

Just want to say tHAT i'M TERRIFIED!!!!!!!!!! My worst nightmare.........coming soon though!!!!!!!! Need therapy for this (not joking). Stel.xx (((((((((((((((((BIG HUG)))))))))))))))))))

guy's thanks for your support, but all I want to do is cry , as the cheek is growing by the minute, again. Have taken iboprofen. Don't want to look like the 'Elephant Man' again! :-(( Kim

Hi Kim, Sincerest sympathy, I had a couple of extractions nearly 3 weeks ago so I know what you are going through. ((((((((((hug)))))))))) Ian

Ian, Really didn't want this tooth removed, she's tried to save it but the damn thing has other plans, obviously, so looks like it's getting it's own way. And if it removes the pain it can go for it!!!!! Kim

sorry to hear of your pain. I had 2 teeth our about 10 days ago but had to wait 6 weeks for an appointment. ( I was begging for that appointment with tears rolling down my face.) its the worse pain in the world. I brought 2 bottles of oil of cloves and loads of cotton buds. one i kept at home the other was in my bag so even in the middle of the shop when i felt the pain coming on i would rub on the oil to help numb it. Yes it taste horried and some times i was putting on at 5 min intervals but it did ease it a bit. When i was finally in the dentist chair it was shaking where i was so scared, ( i have regular check ups but have a fear of treatment ). So asked if before they injected my gums could i have magic cream, yes magic cream this out of the mouth of a 40 year old, but i had a very kind and good dentist and he gave it to me i didnt feel one injection or the teeth being pulled only a bit of pressure. Thinking of you , hoping you are feeling better tomorrow, which is in fact today, lol just hold on i know its hard. shaz

I have got to try and get some sleep excuse the language but the pain is S***e, not doing this again! will keep you up to date what she says tommorow Kim

Hi Kim, Have had root canal treatment done before but it never seems to last. I've got to the stage that if they mention it I just tell them to take it out as it's easier. Ian

OWW Poor you. I think any pain in your teeth is the worst you can have. Abcesses are awful aren't they? My mam had one and she looked like she should have lived at Royston Vasey bless her! Hope you feel better very very soon and get to enjoy your hols pain free. Natalia xx

Oh Kim :-( You poor thing!!! Don't know what to suggest so will send you lots of positive thoughts and love becx

Big Ron, Tried the aLcohol, and ain't worked yet! still awake and in bloody pain! no * this time! Kim

Tell me what happens very gently please! Hope you ok!!!!! Stel.xx

When I was younger and teething my mum used Ouzo on my swollen gums... Maybe down a bottle and that'll help?

Just looked on the map for Sandhurst, sorry live up in lincolnshire whould take hours for me to get there with the oil of cloves is there someone who can drive to a alnight super market near you that will sell it ? Or do you have any dentinox (Spelling) teething gel it might help to numb the pain a bit. Really wish i could be of more help. shaz :-(
