Terribly sorry you had that bad experience with the dentist....I too at 6 years old had a bad experience dentist numbed area to remove baby teeth and then waited too long and pulled them as the numbing agent had worn off.... I was screaming but because I was a kid they thought just a normal kid reaction, but NO I was in pain feeling every bit of the pulling...

Not all dentists are bad there are good ones out there maybe go for a Good recommendation for a dentist in your area and stick with him.... Again sorry you are in pain....

Thanks JesusLives, its just an annoying one it makes you wanna go RAAAAAAHHHHHHH and headbut the wall! LOL

It was one that came on pretty quickly and quite intensively followed by pulsating waves of pain that would go from a scale of (where 0 is no pain and 10 is almost unbearable) 4 to 10 down to about a 4/5 back up to a 9/10 over and over was driving me potty!

I had to share it because it was probably the kick I needed to get it sorted before it got worse. As said it came out a while back but there was no pain or problem only recently. When it comes to the dentist its something I bury my head in the sand until the last minute because of my past experiences at the butchers, ahem, the dentists I mean.

Sorry to hear about your experiences that sounds horrible but glad you lived to tell the story! :)

I agree there are some good dentists out there, getting referred by my doc for one.

Cheers!

Guys gotta give you an update! lol

Well I can laugh now but let me tell you something!! I had the bad tooth pulled out. All good. But couple days later it started hurting again... Only this time it was hurting like 5x as bad!!

Apparantly I had a dry socket. It's where the blood clot that forms over the hole and acts as a barrier protection to the exposed bone and nerve sells gets dislodged which is what must have happened! Has anyone ever had this??

I could not believe the pain that I was feeling! I don't know why God has made that pain hurt so much! Lol I was up ALL night had no pain killers managed to book emergency dentist app and got it filled in with a medicated gauze but by then it wasnt hurting as had taken some ibuprofen. Nothing else works as good as them for pain relief with me.

Anyway, cor what a porlava all over a tooth! :D

Are you feeling better??? I hope so. I can only testify of my own experience with this PAIN!! I didn't have the benefit of going to a dentist or any medical assistance and I remember not eating anything for like 2 days.. I was very careful with anything I drank as well or else the pain would come surging back... I guess it just came down to time and endurance; really... I hope all is well and just be careful not to underestimate the location or the absence of pain because any little thing can. Bring the pain back

Hi josedoe yeah I'm feeling much better thanks! You know it brother! To be honest, it just makes you really appreciate not being in pain and how much you just take that for granted ya know? Let me tell you, the last few days of life has just been a blissful dream for me not being in that same nagging aching pain of a dry socket any more! ;)

Cheers! And God bless all the dentists!
