I have actually never felt pain like this

I have 3 wisdom teeth already, never had any trouble with them. But the last one is trying to some through now, I have a huge hole in my gum where it has cut, my face has swelled up really badly, I cant swallow, and the swelling is making me feel like I have an ear infection.

The dentist apparently cant give me an appointment til next wednesday. But even if they could I dont know how much difference it would make because I actually cant open my mouth wider than about a centimeter, so they wouldnt even be able to have a look.

I feel so sorry for myself right now

[Niamh.]

Did you tell the dentist it was an emergency?

[Vicky.]

Just got gav to ring them back. Apparently they can give me an appointment this wednesday now.

So I only have this pain for like 2 days, which is better I guess :S

[Niamh.]

that's a bit better atleast, you need to get yourself some painkillers!

[Vicky.]

Painkillers dont work

I havent tried any today

Painkillers never seem to work for me. I gave up on taking tablets years ago, the only thing I ever take is migraleve for my migraines. Even codeine doesnt work on me

[Vicky.]

Actually I might get some and try. Wont do me any harm.

Might not be able to swallow them though

God, Im dropping to pieces recently

Oh really? that's no good, you should go to the chemist and ask anyway, they might have something else you could try

Having a couple of nurofen for the minute.

The swelling is getting worse, gav now reckons I look like Ive been fighting

[Niamh.]

oh God, you poor thing :/ they'll probably have to pull it

[Vicky.]

I hope they do. Gav says they will probably take my molar out to give the wisdom tooth room to come through, but I would rather they just cut my gum and took the wisdom tooth out tbh

My teeth are strange, I still have all my baby molars and have never had any problems with my teeth til now, no fillings or anything, dentist always tells me mine are perfect ( ) I always thought people were exaggerating about the pain of toothache :S

[Niamh.]

Yeah, so far none of my wisdom teeth have come through and I'm hoping they never will because my dentist told they'll have to come straight out if they ever do as there is no room for them :/

[Vicky.]

Well painkillers havent took the pain away, but they have made me feel all floaty

My mate said on FB that he had the same problem a while back but they refused to take his out because they hadnt caused him problems before

[Niamh.]

Well, they'll have to do something for you if it's as bad as it sounds

[Vicky.]

Yeah, they really have to :/

Cant keep on like this

Only unlucky people

[Niall]

Ouch. Thats horrid Vicky. Hope the dentist can sort it for you. I hate dentists though, I'm petrified of them, whenever they have to do something to my teeth I have to go to a dentist where they put you under lmfao.

[Vicky.]

Ive never been scared of going to the dentist, though maybe thats because they have never had to do anything to me before.

Come wednesday I have a feeling I may have a new phobia

Yeah but seeing a picture of a dentist isn't gonna scare me, the thought of having to have dental work done whilst I'm awake does. *Shudders*

LOL well the only reason I'm scared is because I had to have a filling done when I was 10 and they didn't numb my mouth enough so I could still feel pain. O_o

Omg I don't wanna scare you too. *Shuts up*

[Josy]

Poor Vicky.

You could try wrapping up a hot water bottle in a towel and leaning the sore side of your face on it for a while might help with the pain.
