Toothache Nightmare Valium And Cocodamol?? Jaw Spasm
8 Answers
Hi there
I am having severe toothache I went to dentist on Friday and was told I have an irritation of the nerve at a deep rooted tooth. Lower jaw right They are going to take it out but first available appointment is 1 week on Tuesday. Ive put my name down for a cancellation and they will call me if there is one. Hopefully will be. I took 1 1/2 cocodamol 30/500 on thursday night and felt a bit sick after. But I took 2 x 1 through the evening. 1 does not seem to help much. Tonight my jaw seems to have gone into spasm. I have taken 5mg diazepam but I need pain relief is it ok to take 2 cocodamol? I am on antidepressants and as a side effect I suffer from bruxism teeth clenching and it has been awful today.

I sympathise with you, geordie. Nothing worse than the toothache.
I know that you are a Scot, geordie. Are you anywhere near Glasgow ?.
There is an emergency dental hospital there, I'm pretty sure they would whip that bad tooth out for you before a week on Tuesday.

I phoned NHS24 who put me through to dental out of hours and they have suggested 1 paracetemol and 1 cocodamol as I didnt know I could take that, so Ive given a try and see if it helps. If not I phone them back. I have also taken a valium so I should sleep well !! I think its a complicated extraction because of the deep roots so thats why my dentist didnt other to do it then but I really hope I can get something sorted soon.
This really helped me, there are to versions I think, I got the extra strength version, much nicer than Clove Oil. It was usefult before and after an extraction (also complicated). It's a teeny tube but you only use a tiny bit at a time.

Can you set yourself reminders or carry a note round with you to remind you to relax your jaw if you are clenching it while awake?
I found ibuprofen helped me too, I can't take much of it but I took the odd one which did make a difference.
Have you had a tooth extracted before? I'm guessing it's a molar? Can you discuss with them in advance about managing your anxiety if that might be an issue when you have the tooth out?
