Thanks Sally Looks like a trip to the off licence for me then :-) Drunk and drooling... I should definitely go out on the pull tonight!!! PMSL becsh

Better go easy on the whiskey then. LOL :-)))))

Thanks Maggie Not feeling too bad now, feel like I can speak again (thank goodness!) Just annoyed because of the timing, this week is an important week for me workwise and I don't need to be worried about drooling and an inability to speak!! becsh

When mine were hurting over 20 years ago hubby bought me smarties!!!!!! They did help!!!!! Plus - forget rubbing the whiskey on - just drink it - LOTS of it!!!!!!! Eventually had the b's out last year as they were nothing but trouble. Cheerful surgeon told me that if they need to come out they are better done sooner rather than later as the longer they're in the more they hurt when they come out - he was right!! Echo what someone else said - get yourself to the dentist and if there's the slightest suggestion they need to come out, have it done while you are young!!!!! Hope you feel better soon!!! Maggie

Thanks Jacqui Would you like to be my Royal Physician? Becsh

If there are you won't remember them - lol No side effects,but don't drive!!! (or use an electric whisk!) Jacqui

Jacqui - whiskey or not they all think (know) I'm Batty!! Are there any side effects of this whiskey therapy? becx

No it won't work quicker - you need to dip your foreginger in the glass of whiskey, and rub rub rub the blasted place and repeat and repeat and repeat (dip and rub, dip and rub) until the whole area is numb (and until the whiskey is all gone)! Do try not to do it in front of the window, as the neighbours might think you are slightly batty! Jacqui

Linda - One's halfway through and I'm not feeling any wiser! Jacqui - Good plan... surely it'd work quicker if I gargled with the whiskey...? PMSL becsh

Just get yourself down to the Off Licence - small bottle of Bells will do, and when home liberally rub the gums with the stuff - use your finger, no one will ever know!! I guarantee it will work - mind you, you will stink like an Alki but you won't care!!! Trust me, I'm not a Doctor (or Vet or Dentist) Jacqui

I was lucky never had wisdom teeth neither have my sons......trouble is never had a lot of wisdom either LOL Linda

None of the vets are open here today but it'll probably be easier for me to get an appointment to see a Vet than a local Doctor or Dentist! becsh

Vets are more qualified than doctors. I've used Lignocaine for dehorning calves but I'v never injected a person, only animals. Ros I'm not a vet.

Ros - would the vet's inject me? I do have a bottle of 7* Metaxa next to me which might help, don't think my mum'd be impressed if I drank her present... becsh

Used to have a liquid for mouth ulcers, can't remember what it is called but it contains lignocaine which is local anaesthetic. Could always pop down the local vets for an injection of the same thing!! Ros:-)))

Thanks Sue!!! <bec vomits> PMSL

Bikkies and Vodka..... XX Grandma

bec- you might be better with charlies ear lobes- plenty to go at their. if camilla hasn't already chewed them off. lol.

PMSL <Bec almost chokes on her saliva as she laughs> Becshs

It means the buggers aint never going to erupt!!!! they just keep trying to, and then settling again until the next try - bit like a volcano. Hope you are lucky and yours 'erupt' (I think this is correct dentistry terminology actually - I vaguely remember the dentist talking about eruptions, and I didnt have any zits as I recall - lol). Any alcohol will do, although whiskey is best as it has numbing features. Have you tried a baby's BikkiePeg? One of those really hard biscuits given to babies to help them when they are teething. Not very feminine down at the pup, but a talking point if nothing else. I think you can get a little ribbon to attach to the BikkiePeg and a safety pin to attach it to your cardigan - lol Jacqui ps Not making fun, know it's agony
