I have to find a dentist soon as my face is killing me! I hate going to theddentist though. The one that I see in March will not pull the same day and will fight with me to not pull my teeth. I have been to these people before. I want this pain gone and my anxiety to go away again. I am jumpy and grumpy because I hurt. I am tired and strung out from all of this and it's only the second night! I am using my skills and keeping myself as calm as I can. I am doing pretty good but the lack of sleep is NOT helping at all. I am sorry just needed to vent. Hope everyone is good.

sorry mate. for painful teeth. clove of oil. temporary but really helps. keep strong. march? hunt around. boy here they pull........each tooth extraction is coin in their pockets. i don't know ya system and stuff but if they need pulling, then it has to be done. mine were rotten, gingivitus and periodontal disease. diabetes. are you locked into one dentist or insurance stuff? keep strong. i know about teeth, had 'em pulled.

Hi

Sorry to hear you are in pain with toothache I know that can be really painful and yes pain can make your anxiety worse as well so I hope your dentist can help. I have had 2 teeth pulled and also one of my wisdom teeth pulled and it was painful but once it had healed I felt a lot better.

Hi Jessica,

Just my 2 cents worth, but if you are able to pick your own dentist, you can easily find one who will make sure ANY procedure is not painful. ask them to use numbing gel on your gums, ask for a shot of novocaine, and ask for nitrous (inhaled). my dentist automatically does all 3 for me for any procedure. in this day and age, it is ridiculous for anyone to have to deal with pain while at the dentist.

i was terrified of the dentist when i was younger. i was fortunate enough to find a dentist specializing in dental fear. at the first appointment all you did was sit in the chair and talk to her. at the second appointment she did an exam and her assistant stood by in case i needed anyone to hold my hand. we went on from there. i have had a LOT of dental work and no longer fear going.

I wish you good luck with your problem.

Hi all,

Jamie- I love clove oil and really wish I had some. I have to go to certain dentists due to insurance and it makes me angry that more people do not take my insurance, provided by the state. I have been in tears all day.

Hibee- Yes I can feel that relief coming but the insurance keeps me at bay. I am so mad and in nasty pain too.

rrrich- I am so scared of the dentist. My whole body shakes and then when it is done I am all good. I do not want to wait until March but I may have no choice either.

I am in a little pain and I can't even get into the darn urgent care. This is BS and I am getting more upset by the minute about all of this.
