I went to get a tooth out yesterday and after 40 minutes of hauling and pulling by 2 dentists, I no longer have my tooth but I still have the roots. Apparently they are curved or something and it looks like I'm going to have to be referred for a surgical removal where they'll take away some bone to get access. I feel like I've been kicked in the face by a horse! Has anyone else had this? I have to wait 3 weeks before they'll xray and probably refer - please tell me I'm not going to be in this amount of pain for all that time?

B00 will just love this post if she reads it :-P

To answer your question, no I've never had this happen to me and I hope I never have to experience it!

[ganesh]

Even after having a tooth out normally the pain can be excrutiating for a couple of weeks (and I've had 4 out over the last few years),so I can't imagine what pain you are in.I hope they have given you some serious pain relief,so sorry for you.

[karenmac60]

They gave me nowt! I am currently pilfering mr mac's copious supply :-(

[DTCwordfan]

get yourself to the quack tomorrow, karen; that is ridiculous.

yes, I was recently found to have some roots left lying round after a previous extraction. They were then removed but for a week after I looked as if I'd been hit in the face by a baseball bat and was gulping down ibuprofen like Smarties.

But no, you won't hurt all the time, it's just the pain and bruising from the attacks on your jaw; that'll fade, though probably not for a few days.

Oh god, oh, god, oh god ... oh, kazzamac !

I've got some boxes of 600mg Ibuprofen from Spain.

I'm going to send you two boxes of 30, and you must take THE LOT ...

... with a bottle of Cognac.

I need a couple myself, just reading your post.

:0(

[jno]

ooh, Spanish ibuprofen, they're the best, they have prawns and rice

[craft1948]

Haven't you got a late night chemist open near you..........I'd go and ask the pharmacist what he recommends.

[joggerjayne]

Are you absolutely certain that you're not thinking of paella, jno ?

[B00]

<<<feels, ill, queazy and just a little bit faint just reading this :-(

You poor bugger!

Get yourself to the docs as suggested and get yourself some arsekicking painkillers.

Good luck xx

[jno]

oh yes, you might be right, JJ. But they'd go down well with sangria, wouldn't they?

[friedgreentomato]

Oh sweetie get oragel from boots it's like Novocain for teeth you just rub on the gum and it numbs it about 3.50 a tube good luck xxxx

[tinkerbell23]

Hot water bottle too mabye xxx bless ya xxxx

[joggerjayne]

Well, the first time I had them was in Spain.

With, amongst other things ... Sangria.

They are so good (1,800mg four times a day with lots of wine takes away ALL the pain) that I always stock up on the when I'm in Spain.

Also ... only €3.00 for a box of 30!

[jno]

so the pain in Spain is mainly on the wane?

[B00]

hahaha jno!

I do love you, that sooooo deserves to be the best answer!

[joggerjayne]

LOL

I wish I could get some to kazzamac.

She needs something that really works.

[DTCwordfan]

1800mg 4x a day, JJ, Are you sure that you are still alive?

[joggerjayne]

Dose suggested by the pharmacist in the Farmacia, DT

It worked !!

Look, if you have pain, you don't want A BIT LESS pain ... you want it to GO AWAY totally.

You can't dolly around with pain killers.
