hi Dee, I am pleased to hear you are feeling a bit more chirpy & the antibiotics are doing their job. linda x

dee have they given you an xray.if the infection doesn't go .it could be that the nerves in one of your teeth could have died.you may need a root canal or a filling.if the pain persists go back.love and hugs.heres to a pain free mouthxxxxxxxxxx(:

Hi Lisa, Thanks for the sympathy and hugs xxx You're right there....it's VERY painful...had a few tears myself! Saw dentist because of pain on Friday, she prescribed antibiotics but they have taken a while to take effect, but the pain is beginning to lessen a bit now thank goodness! Will be going back next week. Dee x

oh deee .i really sympathise.i had one about six years ago and it was so painful i was crying my eyes out.have you been to the dentists .if the answer is no.go on an emergency tomorrow.get it sorted straight away.love and hugsxxxxx):

Hi everyone... Thanks so much for all the messages of sympathy and understanding...may not have cured the abscess but made me feel a lot better....big hugs to you all! I did sleep a little better last night, and, this evening, (dare I say it?)....I think the antibiotics are beginning to do their job. I tried the whisky mouthwash....gave some temporary relief and made my gums tingle!! Will be seeing my dentist (again) as soon as possible. Thanks again to all of you....for being here when I needed you. Love Dee x

oh hun, I am the abscess Queen so I really feel for you! Be careful if Dentist gives you anti-b's - the ones they dish out tend to be very strong and if you booze you will be sick as a pig. Hang in there and make sure you finish the course. Then he will probably have to remove the tooth - sorry, but this is what has happened to me in the past. Make sure you check what painkillers you can take with the antis as some dont mix - ibuprofen is usually best for teeth as it reduces any inflammation. Thought I had your mobile number but can't find it?? Was gonna text and tell you to check this thread!! Hope you are feeling a bit better today. love Maz. XX PS the strong anti-b's also help you tan, so get out in the sun if you get a chance - worked for me on holiday last year!

Dee. I have emailed you Linda

Dee, Hoping by now you are in less pain. From past experience it takes about 48 hours for antibiotics to kick in. Big (((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))) Jean x.

Hi Dee Dee... Hope you is feeling better this morning....with all these good wishes you cant help but feel better! Take care L.L. Ginge in Calgary.

Morning Dee, How are you this morning? Hope the anti b`s and pain killers are working-my grandad used to rinse his mouth with whisky when he a tooth ache. Must of had it everyday, lol Raggy Bear x

Poor old you, Dee, there is nothing worse than toothache. I hope you feel better soon. Just lie down today on the sofa, and groan theatrically every now and again to get some sympathy from you other half. Don't forget to ring the little handbell when you want a drink, etc. lol!! Just check HRH's credentials for pulling teeth, is it by royal appointment lol? Sue x

Dee, You have my sympathy, I hope the pain has eased a bit. Thinking of you June xx

unfortunately a dentist usually wont touch a tooth with an abscess you have to get rid of the abscess first so you tuck with the pain killers Paul

I felt for 'Tom Hanks' in 'Castaway' last night - he would have given everything for a dentist, on that desert island! Hope you can get an emergency appointment tomorrow am. Lily

Morning to you Dee, am thinking of you there, hope you get it sorted, sending lots of sympathy, very painful, hope you got some sleep :)

Hi Dee, So sorry you are in pain,been there & it's no fun. Can I add a note of caution on the cures everyone is suggesting. The reason not to take alcohol with antibiotics is that the alcohol stops the antibiotics working, so do one or the other. If you want a drink leave the anti's till tomorrow or you are wasting them. Please be carefull not to overdose on the pain killers. When I had a nasty abcess I kept taking painkillers every 3.1/2 hrs & couldn't understand why my head was buzzing & I couldn't stand up. I'm sending you some healing thoughts & I'm sure everyone else is so hopefully you will get some sleep Vivienne

For a short period you can take Ibuprofen and paracetamol together at the same time...honestly! Best thing I found for relieving abcess pain was Paracodol Hugs and sympathy Magsxx

Thanks all! Dunno about Scotch though Stu! Antibiotics, painkillers and whisky! Might get me some sleep but don't think I'd wake up! Hope to see you in Maidstone! Hi JoJo thanks love, a bit of sympathy goes a long way! See you in London on the 25th! No laughing if I've got a gap in me teeth! Good Idea David...think I'll go and get a couple of dustbin lids to smack together..Or just scream loudly! Thanks Joy x Well folks I'm off to TRY and get a bit of rest. Hugs to you all xxxxxx Dee x

Dee That's awwwful - I've been there and there ain't much worse. I felt much better by not letting anyone else in the house get any sleep:)

I am so sorry. I do hope the antiobiotics work soon. Joy
