Few people can withstand the pain and agony of a toothache. Whether it’s two in the morning, finals week at school, or a particularly busy day at the office, toothaches make our lives miserable. The dentist’s office may be a long drive away, and you may have not set up an appointment days earlier. While some people would bravely go through a day with a toothache, it’s only a matter of time before they finally surrender to the agonizing, writhing pain. If you do not have some painkillers on hand or you’re a long way from seeing a dentist, here are five simple ways to dull the pain of a throbbing toothache.<br /><strong>Suck In Air</strong><br />For aching teeth that are not sensitive to air, you can try to suck in air towards the tooth. You can use a drinking straw or shift your tongue to draw air into the offending tooth. The air-sucking technique works a lot like the small air blower your dentist uses to dry out <a class="kLink" href="http://lifehackery.com/2008/07/02/health/#" id="KonaLink0" style="background-color: transparent !important; background-image: none !important; border: 0px none transparent !important; bottom: 0px; color: blue; cursor: pointer; display: inline !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; left: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static; right: 0px; top: 0px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-style: none !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-style: none !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-top-style: none !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static; width: auto !important;">your</span><span class="kLink" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-style: none !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-style: none !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-top-style: none !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static; width: auto !important;">teeth</span></span></a> before an extraction, a root canal session, or a dental filling procedure. The aim is to keep your tooth as dry as possible, which makes the nerves in the pulp less sensitive to the pain.<br /><span id="more-402"></span><br /><strong>Try Sugarless Gum</strong><br />Sometimes contact with air is all that’s needed to cause a throbbing toothache. Dentists use substances like gutta-percha or silver amalgam to fill in cavities and other dental caries, which are a major cause of toothache. While there is no substitute for a professional dental filling procedure, you can opt for a temporary solution before you can go to a dentist.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">
Sugarless chewing gum is a good way to prevent air coming into contact with a painful cavity. After you have chewed all the flavoring out of the gum, it should be sticky enough to serve as a temporary filling for your cavity, at least for the next few hours until you can get to the dentist. Spicy peppermint gums also work well, as long as they are sugar-free. Chewing gum rich in sugar can irritate your already sensitive tooth, and will only prolong your agony.<br /><strong>Cold Water <a class="kLink" href="http://lifehackery.com/2008/07/02/health/#" id="KonaLink1" style="background-color: transparent !important; background-image: none !important; border: 0px none transparent !important; bottom: 0px; color: blue; cursor: pointer; display: inline !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: inherit !important; left: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: static; right: 0px; top: 0px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: inherit !important; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-style: none !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-style: none !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-top-style: none !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: inherit !important; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static; width: auto !important;">Remedy</span></span></a></strong><br /><img align="left" alt="an ice cold glass of water" height="330" src="http://lifehackery.com/qimages/5/cold%20water.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(232, 232, 232); margin-right: 15px; padding: 3px;" width="200" /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">
Painful teeth that are not sensitive to low temperatures can be numbed with cold water. The neat thing about cold water is that it is always available from a refrigerator, a tap with hot/cold knobs, a water dispenser, or a convenience store. Cold water works particularly well for aching molars, impacted wisdom teeth, or a mild tooth abscess. The soothing feel of cold water can also soothe your nerves, and momentarily distract you from the pain. Here is a way to use the cold water remedy effectively:</div>
<ul style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">
<li>Do not use ice-cold water, carbonated beverages like soda or beer, or crushed ice. Use plain cold water from a water dispenser or a drinking fountain.</li>
<li>Hold a small mouthful of cold water in your mouth, and swish it around to the painful tooth. Hold it as long as you can, and gently try to flush out the debris embedded in the cavities or crevices.</li>
<li>Repeat the process until the pain subsides.</li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">
<strong>Hot Water Remedy</strong><br />People with sensitive teeth may find the cold water remedy even more painful and agonizing than the toothache. Serious tooth decay problems can sometimes be made worse by the cold water remedy. If the painful tooth is sensitive to cold water, you can use hot water to dull the nerves inside the pulp. Hot drinks like coffee or tea can also help draw out some pus from abscessed teeth. Here is a way to use the hot water remedy effectively:</div>
<ul style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">
<li>Use water that’s hot enough for you to hold in your mouth. You can also try soups, as long as it is not a cream soup or a sweet soup. If you insist on drinking coffee or tea, do not add sugar or milk. Do not add cold water to cool down the drink; the point is that the liquid should be hot enough for you to hold in your mouth.</li>
<li>Slowly drink half a mouthful of the liquid, but do not swallow it.</li>
<li>Swish the liquid around your mouth to the offending tooth, and hold it there for about five seconds.</li>
<li>Repeat the process until the pain subsides.</li>
</ul>

Brushing is also a very helpful and welcome distraction. Brush as long as you can until you feel the pain subside, and then proceed with a hot water or cold water remedy.</div>

At least, these remedies can help you get through a day without having to scream in horrifying agony.</div>Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com68tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-36237256225980272662012-02-29T18:14:00.001+00:002012-02-29T18:16:30.594+00:00<h3 class="page" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(231, 231, 231); color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1ex; margin-left: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">Special thanks to <a href="http://www.nature.com/bdj/journal/v192/n11/full/4801449a.html" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; ">http://www.nature.com/bdj/journal/v192/n11/full/4801449a.html</a> for this fascinating insight to how our soldiers dealt with the agony of toothache</h3><h3 class="page" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(231, 231, 231); color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1ex; margin-left: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><br /></h3><h3 class="page" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(231, 231, 231); color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1ex; margin-left: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">Toothache in the trenches</h3><p class="norm" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.6; margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">First World War literature abounds with accounts of toothaches experienced on the battlefields of France.

I found the dentist under the weather, like everyone else. He would do nothing at first but grumble what a fool he'd been to offer his services to the King at such a low salary. "When I think," he complained, "of the terrible destruction to the nation's teeth now being done by unqualified men at home, and the huge fees that they extract for their wicked work, it makes me boil with rage." There followed further complaints against his treatment at headquarters, and the unwillingness of the R.A.M.C. to give dentists any promotion beyond lieutenant's rank. Later he examined my tooth. "An abscess," he said. "No good tinkering about with this; must pull it out." So he yanked at the tooth irritably, and the crown broke off. He tried again, damning the ineffective type of forceps which the Government supplied, found very little purchase, and broke off another piece. After half an hour he had dug the tooth out in sections. The local anaesthetic supplied by the Government seemed as ineffective as the forceps. I rode home with lacerated gums.'</i></p><p class="norm" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.6; margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Verdana, arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">The poet Edmund Blunden<sup><a href="http://www.nature.com/bdj/journal/v192/n11/full/4801449a.html#B9" style="color: rgb(1, 51, 102); ">9</a></sup> described his wartime dental experiences <i>'Long tramps day and night ruined my feet, but I had to walk to Poperinghe in great misery to have a tooth put to rest or die in the attempt.

Eventually (which means in the near future) I will need to go for surgery to extract the little white rascals. Gives me shudders even thinking about it.</p><p>I’m sure I’m not the only person on the planet to go through this. Share your tooth surgery story and provide me some comfort. I’d love to hear about it. Email me or drop me a comment.</p></span>Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-74516244606085518822011-07-09T14:14:00.001+01:002011-07-09T14:17:02.596+01:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; "><table style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><tbody style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><tr style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><td style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><img src="http://blogs.sun.com/richb/resource/toothache.jpg" alt="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; " /></td></tr></tbody></table></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-size: medium; "><a href="http://blogs.oracle.com/richb/entry/tooth_ache">http://blogs.oracle.com/richb/entry/tooth_ache</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; "><table style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><tbody style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><tr style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><td style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">Thanks to Rich burridge for sharing his unimaginable pain</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "> There's been an unexpected blogging break over the last few days from me, due to extreme toothache.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">This is long, but it does capture the "fun" I've been having.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">It all started about 3-4 weeks ago with a mild toothache.

He suggested seeing if it got worst, and then we'd react accordingly.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">Tuesday this week, it got worse.. Somebody suggested to me that it might be a sinus infection so I went to see my doctor. She was skeptical about this (because I didn't have the other things you normally get with a sinus infection, like fever and nasal problems), but she prescribed some anti-biotics called Amoxicillin. After taking just three of these capsules, I hit the jackpot with the side effects. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">This brings us up to Wednesday morning.

Rather than go all the way up to Palo Alto, we just went to the ER at our local hospital (with Lynea and Duncan providing moral support. Okay, Lynea providing moral support and Duncan being forced to come along because we couldn't just leave him. Thankfully Nintendo invented the DS for occasions just like this).</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">The nurse there asked me to describe my pain on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is "pain? what pain?" and 10 is "OMG. This is the worse pain I've ever experienced". As I'd suffered through an impacted wisdom tooth in 1985, I couldn't claim a 10, so I said 8. Again, to cut a long story short, I came out of there with a prescription for some serious pain killers. This surprisingly only took just over an hour. As Lynea pointed out, we were probably lucky in that all the burn victims hadn't got there yet.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">Wednesday afternoon at 1:45pm saw me taking the first of the Vicodin tablets. The prescription said to take 1-2 tablets every 4 hours as needed. Strangely enough, the pain started getting worst as this point. Probably the result of all the poking and prodding by the attending physician at the hospital. By 2:30pm, I decided to take another one. The medicine then started to kick in. I took one more just before bed.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">This morning I woke up, very light headed and very nauseous. Nausea is one of the side-effects of Vicodin (along with many others including mood swings. Oh boy, am I looking forward to those!) Today would have been the day I would have liked to make another appointment with my dentist and try to find out exactly what the problem was, but he's on vacation (returning on the 9th). He gave an emergency number for another doctor, and I spoke to a nice lady there called Patty. I fully explained things to here, and she referred me to an oral surgeon down in Sunnyvale. Lynea and I were in his office at 10:30am (Duncan was over with one of his friends).</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">This doctor had one of those machines which can take an X-ray externally. You just strap on the lead padding, bite down on the mouth piece and stand perfectly still for about thirty seconds. You have no idea of the relief I went through when I realized they weren't going to try to wedge any of those little white X-ray films in my mouth. After checking me and the X-ray over, the doctor determined that it looks like I'm going to need a root canal on tooth #12.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">With the pain under control, this can now wait until my normal dentist returns next week. Then, because of that gag reflex, the actually dentistry will have to be done under general anesthesia. This doesn't worry me at all. I've been very happy with previous work done the same way.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">So I'm going to take it easy for the rest of the week. One thing I learnt over thirty years ago. Never try to do any software engineering when you are light-headed. In those days, it meant if you'd been down the pub lunchtime.

It is something that most of us have experience in one time of our lives. When the pain gets so bad, everything else in your life will go into a blur except that painful overbearing PAIN that gets so BAD.<br /><br />But what happens if the pain comes in during a late Saturday nite or a holiday and you cannot find a nearby dentist?<br /><br />Pop in an aspirin or panadol? It can be a solution except you will keep popping and the bad news is after a while, it may not even work.<br /><br />Then what happens if you are in the middle of nowhere that you cannot even pull the offending tooth out yourself with a pair of pliers even if you want to. What do you do?<br /><br />Personally, I have two experiences of being ‘attacked’ by a serious toothache when dental access is not there. The method’s not conventional, but it works…<br /><br />The First Time<br /><br />In the year of 2004, I took about 10 days off from work to attend a meditation retreat in Cameron Highlands. I have attended some meditation classes years before during university but like many working adults, life just got too exciting and fast paced that I well, sort of slipped off the practice.<br /><br />So, in the meditation hall in the hills of Cameron Highlands, I had problem settling my mind because only the a day before, I had stayed back late at work to finish off some work before the holiday. So the high speed geared mind that was so used to thinking on my feet and working under pressure was not about to show any signs of slowing down. My mind was everywhere except being present to where I was, seated on top of the cushion. It goes everywhere, to my work, my direction in life, the past and the unknown future. When I opened my eyes to peek at others sitting on the hall, everyone seemed to sit still and were deep in concentration. And me…. I tried and forced, but I just could not settle my restless mind.<br /><br />Then it came…… the toothache.<br /><br />In the afternoon after lunch, it started as a dull discomfort. By evening, it became a full blown absolutely painful episode. My wondering mind stopped dead on its track and I was completely overwhelmed by the pain. It was only the second day and there was another 7 days to go. Gosh, how am I to live through it?<br /><br /><br />Because I was cornered then, I had no other choice but to deal with the pain. If I am at home, I would have taken some painkillers or, at painful rate it is, pull the $%#% tooth off with a pair of pliers with my own hands. But I was hundreds of kilometres away from home up in the hills and I am not going to bother the helpers or disturb other meditators with my ordeal.<br /><br />I just observed the pain- I’ve learned years ago that physical pain is the result of element imbalance in the body. But why we suffer is because we identified the pain as ourselves- when it is just a physical dis-ease minding its own business. This means that due to our adversion to anything that we perceived as unpleasant and the instrict for self preservation and survival, the physical pain brings on to emotional pain to the heart. So dealing with it is a matter of perspective- when we see the physical pain for what it really is and is able to separate the emotion pain away, we let go of the trauma that we cause ourselves as the result of attaching to the pain. It does not mean the pain is not there- it’s there, but it will remain nothing more than it is- a physical discomfort as the result of element imbalances in our physical body.<br /><br />Up to that point, I only understood those facts in theory. It is the real experience that forces you to put into practice what you have learned. I was desperate and had not choice…then I remembered something in the past….<br /><br />Years ago in university, once, I remember sitting cross legged for so long in a meditation class that I felt my knee was about to break into two- it was as if someone was trying to break my knee by hitting it with a huge stick. And something in me challenged me not to give up and sit through the pain- the pain shot and become so unbearable that I was literally shaking and breaking out in cold sweat. It rose to a peak, so bad that finally my mind let go of the pain- and then the pain was suddenly gone- it was replaced by a cooling sensation running through my knees. I then realised that the physical pain is not there to spite anyone. It just happens when you sit too long- similarly the pits of our lives are not there to spite anyone- we want the peaks, but we have to accept the pits in life. It was a momentarily insight but when the intense pain shifted from my knee to my butt, I did not stay long enough to fight the battle.<br /><br />Recalling that experience, I decided to try that in that class. I started by zooming into the pain- since I could think of nothing else anyway. I observed it and refused to let any stray thoughts dwell in because the moment I lost my attentiveness or mindfulness, the emotional pain came back. Then after about 30 minutes of struggling with it, I was felt that the ache was just a throbbing or pulsating sensation on my tooth- much like how the heart beats. It is only in our unguarded moments that the automatic assumption comes in associated with the pain with scripts like ‘this is killing me’ that I feel the suffering rose up to an unbearable level. But if my mind was sharp enough, I could see the emotional label coming and I did not give it the chance to get stuck. No way, if I as much as to let my mind dart off, I am really gone for.<br /><br />I did nothing during the evening of day 2 except staying with the pain, observing it and disassociating the emotional label to it.<br /><br />And the next thing, something that I had not expected happened- the toothache… it just went away as suddenly as it came. It is as if when I understood and learned to focus my mind, it just went away. Just like that. It was a strange incident but I suddenly ‘get it’ and learned how to bring a wondering mind back.<br /><br />The Second Time<br /><br />I got another major toothache attack last year August when I was staying in a remote area in Thailand. The pain got blown up to a cresendo level- spreading to earache, sore throat and headache- all on the same side of the aching tooth. Again, there was no access to any dental clinic. There was no painkillers or no pliers around- so again, I had to deal with it by focusing on the pain, and separate the emotion identification with the physical pain. It is just something that you go through once, and the second time, it gets easier.<br /><br />All I did the second time around is to identify where the pain is most severe- is it the ear ache, sore throat, toothache or the headache. I found that the tooth ached the worst- and I just zoomed in to observe it. With my attention not leaving the pain, it was again reduced to a pulsing movement in the tooth. It works once you are able to break through the automatic assumption that being in pain is bad, unacceptable and you have to get rid of it. Instead, accept it and see it for what it truly is- just a physical discomfort that gets blown out of proportion.<br /><br />Of course, I could not be at the pain all the time- I had other things to do. The next day, any moment that my mind was not at the present like if I am sweeping the floor but my mind is somewhere else, I felt the toothache and the emotional suffering associated with it came back. Then, all I did was focus again and accepted there was physical discomfort and stop rejecting or feeling that the pain had no right to be there. After going back and forth like this, the toothache was gone the next day when I woke up from sleep.<br /><br />On both the cases above, I dealt with the problem tooth when I got back home. You have to because toothache is also really a sign of infection- you must see a dentist immediately before the pain spread and infection sets in (do you know an infected tooth can infect another tooth resulting BOTH teeth to be extracted?). But I am relaying the above experience to give you an idea of how to deal with pain, toothache or any pain for that matter when you are cornered and have no other choice.<br /><br />Meditation works<br /><br />Meditation is an excellent tool to bring the mind in focus- and it is continuously to be recognised as very effective in relieving stress. New age gurus like Jack Kornfield and James Aurthur Ray praises the benefits of meditation in their books and seminars. If your mind is not focused, there is no way you can get important assignments done. World class athletes and Olympic champions will not be able to break records and win medals if the cheers of the crowd distracts them. They have learned to be very focused in their gameToohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-86509434949226035822010-07-15T14:10:00.002+01:002010-07-15T14:11:21.319+01:00Robert Burns poem about toothacheEven the legendary scottish poet Robert Burns suffered with the dreaded toothache, here is a famous poem chronicling his own particular suffering.<div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

font-family:'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:small;"><strong>Toothache is an unbearable throbbing pain of very high intensity. The epicenter of the pain would be the affected tooth from where the pain will radiate and cover the entire jaw and at times even beyond. It can easily be the worst pain you have ever felt in your life, especially if you are feeling the pain of an abscess. It has been rightly said that the pain of a toothache is second only to childbirth pain. The pain will intensify when you eat or drink hot/cold liquids. Toothaches are very painful, and no matter what you do - they seem to get worse and hurt more and more.</strong><strong>Most of us have suffered from the pain and agony of a toothache at one time or the other in our lives. What to speak of one time, the problem is often chronic. It means that once you become a victim of toothache, you are likely to suffer from it again and again. If you have never had a toothache, you are extremely lucky.</strong><strong>Causes of Toothaches - </strong><strong>A toothache can trouble you any time, sometimes when you are least expecting it. When a toothache starts, we start thinking what caused it to happen. The main causes of toothaches are:</strong><strong>Decay caused by bacteria/</strong><strong>Fracture caused by accident/</strong><strong>Cavities again caused by bacteria and acid/</strong><strong>Exposed nerve or root caused by </strong><strong>rough brushing or </strong><strong>faulty crowning/filling or </strong><strong>tobacco chewing/ smoking. </strong><strong>What should you do?</strong><strong><br />Immediately when a toothache starts, you should go to the dentist and have it checked. An early visit to your dentist may save your tooth. Normally, this will result in a filling, crown, or root canal. Dentists always look to save the tooth, as they don’t like to remove a tooth unless it becomes absolutely unavoidable. If the tooth has become abscessed, the dentist will put you on antibiotics until the infection has subsided enough to remove the tooth.<br /><br />Proper Toothcare </strong><strong>Now what can you to avoid the agonizing and unbearable pain of a toothache? There are certain things you can do to prevent toothaches:</strong><strong>Brush your teeth before breakfast and bedtime. It is definitely better if you brush after every meal as this will clean all food particles.</strong><strong>Brush in circular and linear motion, not horizontal.</strong><strong>Brush all of your teeth, not just the front ones. Spend some time on the teeth along the sides and in the back. Brush away from your gums.</strong><strong>Take your time while brushing. Spend at least 3 minutes each time you brush.</strong><strong>Follow brushing with a thorough tongue cleaning session. An unclean tongue can cause bad breath.</strong><strong>Use a toothbrush with </strong><strong>soft</strong><strong></strong><strong>bristles.</strong><strong>Get a new toothbrush every 3 months. Some toothbrushes come with bristles that change color when it is time to change them.</strong><strong>Learn how to floss your teeth, which is a very important way to keep them healthy. Flossing gets rid of food between your teeth where your toothbrush can not go no matter how well you brush.</strong><strong>Visit your dentist once every six months. Besides checking for signs of cavities or gum disease, the dentist will help keep your teeth extra clean, and teach you the best way to brush and floss.</strong><strong>It is not just brushing and flossing that keep your teeth healthy - you also need to be careful about what you eat and drink </strong><strong>Ensure that you include a lot of fruits and vegetables in your diet. By eating crisp fruits and vegetables such as apples, celery, cucumbers and carrots, your mouth is naturally cleaned. Plaque and food particles between your teeth and gums are removed during this process. </strong><strong>Avoid sugar and starches. Both sugar and carbohydrates can feed bacteria that cause tooth decay.</strong><strong>Finally </strong><strong>Good and healthy teeth are necessary for oral health and general health. Having good teeth makes you look younger and feel smarter. And do not forget to smile!!!!!!</strong><br /></span>Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-41641943013323425442010-06-01T12:04:00.002+01:002010-06-01T12:07:54.593+01:00Toothache on holiday?? What can I do??Getting a toothache while traveling overseas can be more than just annoying and inconvenient. It can ruin a good holiday. Here are some tips for preventing a toothache before you get on that plane, and for treating it if you get one anyhow.<br /><br />First of all, don’t ever go on a long trip if you have an unresolved tooth problem, or even the hint of a toothache starting. Get it taken care of by a dentist, and if there is lingering pain, get a prescription pain reliever to take with you.<br />Have dental work done far enough in advance of your trip to be sure that all the pain is gone. It is common for a high spot on a new filling to cause severe pain days after it is put in. Any dentist can easily solve this by grinding it down – but wouldn’t you rather have it done by the dentist you know and trust?<br />Avoid doing anything that can cause toothaches or other dental problems while traveling. Avoid eating popcorn, for example. It may be one of the worst foods for damaging teeth.<br />A toothbrush AND floss are a good idea on any trip, of course. Toothpaste may no longer be allowed on the plane, however. If you travel with only carry-on, this means you will have to remember to buy toothpaste as soon as you arrive at your destination. You can carry a bit of baking soda as an alternative as well – this will be allowed on the plane. Toothbrushes and floss are about dental problem prevention, of course, but what if your toothache starts while you’re overseas?<br />Toothache Treatment<br />Try aspirin. Ibuprofen is even better for a severe toothache. Antiseptics that contain benzocaine, applied directly to the irritated tooth and gum will temporarily relieve pain. Oil of cloves will also help when applied to teeth and gums. Never put aspirin or other painkillers directly to gums, as they may burn your gum tissue.<br />Sometimes tooth pain does not originate in the teeth or gums, but in the sinus cavities. It may be a sinus infection putting pressure on the gums from above. In these cases, you might have to eliminate the infection with antibiotics to get relief. Some temporary relief is possible if you can clear the sinuses by steaming (carefully) your face, or eating hot sauce.<br />When teeth are temperature sensitive, you should obviously avoid hot and cold drinks. If it is cold outside, it will also help to breath through your nose. Breathing through the mouth brings cold air flowing over your teeth and can cause a lot of pain.<br /><br />Should you visit a dentist in another country? Certainly you’ll have to if it is an emergency. Some toothaches are too severe to wait. You may prefer to just treat the pain until you get home otherwise. On the other hand, if the problem is simple, like a lost filling, some countries provide an opportunity for cheap dental care. Ask first, to see that the dentists are using gloves and the latest tools.Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-38560906337981328642010-05-29T10:24:00.002+01:002010-05-29T10:26:12.350+01:00Brushing your teeth can help you avoid heart disease!!!I am sure that a lot of us will have read in the newspapers how brushing your teeth can help avoid heart disease I am still quite skeptical but here is an article I have found on www.reuters.com that explains it in more detail.<br /><br /> People who don't brush their teeth twice a day have an increased risk of heart disease, scientists said on Friday, adding scientific weight to 19th century theories about oral health and chronic disease.<br /><br />British researchers studied nearly 12,000 adults in Scotland and found those with poor oral hygiene had a 70 percent extra risk of heart disease compared with those who brushed twice a day and who were less likely to have unhealthy gums.<br /><br />People with gum disease are more likely to develop heart disease and diabetes because inflammation in the body, including in the mouth and gums, plays a role in the build up of clogged arteries, said Richard Watt from University College London, who led the study.<br /><br />The 70 percent extra risk compares to a 135 percent extra risk of heart disease in those who smoke, he said.<br /><br />Although the overall risk was low -- with a total of 555 heart attacks or other serious coronary problems among 11,869 people -- the effect of regular teeth brushing was significant.<br /><br />"Compared to things like smoking and poor diet, which are obviously the main risk factors for heart disease, we are not claiming this is in the same league," Watt said.<br /><br />"But ... even after controlling for all those things there is a still a relationship between this very simple measure of tooth brushing and heart condition," he told Reuters.<br /><br />OLD THEORIES<br /><br />"In a way, it's really quite an old story, because back in the early 19th century there was a theory called focal sepsis, and people believed that infections in the mouth caused disease in the whole body," Watt said.<br /><br />"As a result, they used to take everyone's teeth out."<br /><br />Watt said such a response was "a bit dramatic," but his findings did suggest that twice-a-day brushing was a good idea.<br /><br />Gum or periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth and is more likely to occur in people who do not brush their teeth regularly.<br /><br />Heart disease is the leading killer of men and women in Europe, the United States and many other rich nations and together with diabetes, accounted for almost a third of all deaths around the world in 2005, according to the World Health Organization.<br /><br />The teeth brushing study published on Friday in the British Medical Journal was the first to investigate whether the simple number of times someone brushes their teeth daily has any bearing on the risk of heart disease.<br /><br />The results showed oral health behaviors were generally good, with 62 percent of participants saying they visited the dentist every six months and 71 percent reporting they brushed their teeth twice a day.<br /><br />Once the data were adjusted for other known heart risk factors such as social class, obesity, smoking and family history of heart disease, those who reported less frequent teeth brushing had a 70 percent extra risk of heart disease compared to those who brushed twice a day.<br /><br />Blood tests on those with poor oral hygiene were also positive for two factors called C-reactive protein and fibrinogen -- both of which signal inflammation in the body.Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-12206659724674743952010-05-28T15:09:00.007+01:002010-05-28T15:36:25.369+01:00Wisdom tooth extraction VIDEO!!!!!<object width="350" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rIgES73BbDQ&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rIgES73BbDQ&hl=en_GB&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="350" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />Please dont watch if your are squeamish.

Specific periodontal diseases may be associated with specific bacterial types.<br /><br />If plaque isn't removed each day by brushing and flossing, it hardens into a rough, porous substance called calculus (also known as tartar). Toxins (poisons) produced and released by bacteria in plaque irritate the gums. These toxins cause the breakdown of the fibres that hold the gums tightly to the teeth, creating periodontal pockets which fill with even more toxins and bacteria. As the disease progresses, pockets extend deeper and the bacteria moves down until the bone that holds the tooth in place is destroyed. The tooth eventually will fall out or require extraction.<br /><br />Are there other factors?<br /><br />Yes. Genetics is also a factor, as are lifestyle choices. A diet low in nutrients can diminish the body's ability to fight infection. Smokers and spit tobacco users have more irritation to gum tissues than non-tobacco users, while stress can also affect the ability to ward off disease. Diseases that interfere with the body's immune system, such as leukaemia and AIDS, may worsen the condition of the gums. In patients with uncontrolled diabetes, where the body is more prone to infection, gum disease is more severe or harder to control.<br /><br />What are the warning signs of gum disease?<br /><br />Signs include red, swollen or tender gums, bleeding while brushing or flossing, gums that pull away from teeth, loose or separating teeth, puss between the gum and tooth, persistent bad breath, change in the way teeth fit together when the patient bites, and a change in the fit of partial dentures. While patients are advised to check for the warning signs, there might not be any discomfort until the disease has spread to a point where the tooth is unsalvageable. That's why patients are advised to get frequent dental exams.<br /><br />What does periodontal treatment involve?<br /><br />In the early stages, most treatment involves scaling and root planing-removing plaque and calculus around the tooth and smoothing the root surfaces. Antibiotics or antimicrobials may be used to supplement the effects of scaling and root planing. In most cases of early gum disease, called gingivitis, scaling and root planing and proper daily cleaning achieve a satisfactory result. More advanced cases may require surgical treatment, which involves cutting the gums, and removing the hardened plaque build-up and recontouring the damaged bone. The procedure is also designed to smooth root surfaces and reposition the gum tissue so it will be easier to keep clean.<br /><br />How do you prevent gum disease?<br /><br />Removing plaque through daily brushing, flossing and professional cleaning is the best way to minimize your risk. Your dentist can design a personalized program of home oral care to meet your needs. If a dentist doesn't do a periodontal exam during a regular visit, the patient should request it. Children also should be examined.<br /><br />What is the role of the dentist?<br /><br />The dentist usually detects gum disease and treats it in the early stages. Some general dentists have acquired additional expertise to treat more advanced conditions of the disease. If the general dentist believes that the gum disease requires treatment by a specialist, the patient will be referred to a periodontist. The dentist and periodontist will work together to formulate a treatment plan for the patient.<br /><br />Is maintenance important?<br /><br />Sticking to a regular oral hygiene regimen is crucial for patients who want to sustain the results of therapy. Patients should visit the dentist every 3-4 months (or more, depending on the patient) for spot scaling and root planning and an overall exam. In between visits, they should brush at least twice a day, floss daily, and brush their tongue. Manual soft nylon bristle brushes are the most dependable and least expensive. Electric brushes are also a good option, but don't reach any further into the pocket than manual brushes. Proxy brushes (small, narrow brushes) are the best way to clean in between the recesses in the teeth, and should be used once a day. Wooden tooth picks and rubber tips should only be used if recommended by your dentist.Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-19282955419791831652010-05-21T12:48:00.000+01:002010-05-21T12:49:11.361+01:00Dental emergencies and what we can do!!!Since we really can't tell when the next emergency will occur to us at home, at work, or anywhere, we have to be prepared to act upon the situation with level-headedness and extreme calm. It would also help us if we have stock knowledge on what to do when certain emergencies happen. A dental emergency, for instance, is common among kids because they are often very active. Knowing something about emergency dentistry could help us help our kids and possible help save their teeth too.<br /><br />Here are some episodes in emergency dentistry that commonly happens with kids or even adults:<br /><br />" Toothaches - However severe or mild a toothache is, one should attend to it immediately and properly. It is not advisable to use painkillers like aspirin directly on the gum because it can damage the tissues there. When toothache occurs, use warm water to clean the mouth and gloss around the affected tooth very gently. This is done to remove the food particles that might still be stuck in the teeth. Toothaches can be prevented with frequent visits to the dentist and proper hygiene. Prevention is always best so no one encounters emergency dentistry mishaps.<br /><br />" Broken or chipped off tooth - Since little kids or even bigger ones are extremely active and always on the move, they are prone to accidents. When an accident happens and a tooth gets chipped off - there may be some trauma on the child so approach this calmly. Observe the child and check if there's pain in the chipped tooth. This could mean that a nerve has been hit and a root canal would be necessary. If there is no pain, the chipped part can be replaced with porcelain or veneers. It is important to go to the dentist immediately after an accident like this so he can give appropriate treatments.<br /><br />" Knocked off tooth - Emergency dentistry for this situation is to take the tooth by the top and not by the root (to preserve it). Rinse this very well. If the child is old enough, you can replace the tooth to its socket and ask him to hold it as you go to the dentist for the treatment. If holding the tooth in place is not possible, put the clean tooth in a container with milk, water, or saliva and see the dentist immediately.<br /><br />" Broken tongue or bitten lip - This may be due to a fall or an accidental bump. Get a clean cloth and wipe the area very gently. Apply a cold compress on the affected part to avoid swelling (as a self-help remedy during this emergency dentistry situation). If the bleeding stops shortly after, there is no more cause for alarm, but you still need to see the dentist the next day to check the teeth. If the bleeding won't stop, you need to rush the patient to the emergency room of the nearest hospital.<br /><br />" Things caught in between teeth - Since kids love to put things in their mouths, things can get stuck there and if they pull them out carelessly, the teeth or gums might get damaged. Insert floss where the debris is and carefully slide it without cutting the gum. If you failed to get the object, you should let the dentist do it instead.<br /><br />Emergency dentistry is something everyone should be aware of since anybody can get caught in a dental situation anytime. It will also be best to always have the contact information of the dentist visible to everyone so it will be easier to call him up in case of emergencies.Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-52650802492864231672010-05-20T17:41:00.002+01:002010-05-20T17:43:22.468+01:00sometimes going private isnt always the best optionThanks to www.bbc.co.uk/news for this little gem...<br /><br />The Consumers' Association is calling for action to regulate private dentists.<br />Private dental patient Audrey Read tells BBC News Online of the "horrendous" experience she went through when her treatment went wrong.<br /><br />Mrs Read from Chester-le-Street, County Durham first started having problems with her teeth last May.<br /><br />She had broken a tooth, and felt she could not rely on her NHS dentist to give her the treatment she needed.<br /><br />She went to see a private dentist where she was told she would need a bridge across two teeth - and it was here her troubles began.<br /><br />"I asked how much it was going to cost, and he said 'Time is money Mrs Read, if you're not going to have the treatment, it's a waste of time talking to you'."<br /><br />She says the problem tooth was very obvious when she opened her mouth, so she decided to go ahead with the procedure, which cost £424.<br /><br />A preliminary mould was made, but Mrs Read says: "When he actually put the bridge in, I couldn't shut my mouth - and I heard him saying 'Dear me'."<br /><br />He then filed down the bridge, but filed it so much that part of the root was exposed.<br /><br />Painful treatment<br /><br />"I couldn't bite, I couldn't eat, I couldn't do anything. I went back and told him I was 100% disappointed," she says.<br /><br />A second bridge was fitted, but that too was faulty.<br /><br />That had a gap at the side, big enough to fit a polo mint into.<br /><br />She says: "It was horrendous."<br /><br />When Mrs Read went to see an NHS dentist, he told her he was "absolutely appalled".<br /><br />Mrs Read adds: "I wrote to the practice twice to say can I have my money back so I could go and have it repaired properly."<br /><br />But she had signed a form straight after treatment to say she was happy with the work.<br /><br />"He invited me in to discuss it, but I didn't want to set foot in there again."<br /><br />Lack of help<br /><br />She contacted the British Dental Association, who helped her find a specialist solicitor.<br /><br />But she says: "There was no help available apart from that.<br /><br />"There was a lot of phone calls, a lot of argy-bargy."<br /><br />Mrs Read eventually managed to secure a payment of £6,500 from the dentist concerned, a sum negotiated through solicitors.<br /><br />She says: "I would definitely be in favour of a new regulatory body.<br /><br />"There should be someone that can help in situations like this."Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-87223754983526039812010-05-19T14:08:00.001+01:002010-05-19T14:09:33.959+01:00how to help your child deal with toothacheThanks to www.ehow.com for this superb article.<br /><br />Your child comes to you holding the side of his face. His pained expression immediately tells you something is wrong. He tells you about a pain in his tooth, and you call the dentist. The earliest appointment you can get two days from now. What do you do until then?<br /><br />Causes of Tooth Ache<br />The sugar in your child's diet breaks is broken down into acid by ever-present bacteria in the mouth. The acid attacks tooth enamel. This process leads to enamel erosion and, eventually, cavities and exposed roots or nerves. Tooth ache occurs when the decay approaches the small blood vessels and nerves in the pulp chamber.<br /><br />Ask your child to show you which tooth is affected. Using a pen light, check for ulcers, irritations, noticeably swollen gums or a piece of food lodged between teeth. All of these things can feel like tooth pain but are not directly related to cavities.<br />Home Remedies<br />The dentist should be your first call for tooth ache pain. If he can't see your child for a few days, there are some remedies you can try beyond acetaminophenand Anbesol. Remember never to give children or teens products containing aspirin as it increases the risk of developing Reye's Syndrome.<br />• Rub clove oil on the affected tooth. It may be more painful for a brief period of time, but it should alleviate the pain. If your child won't let you apply the oil, allow him to place it on his finger and do so himself. Children older than age 7 should be able to handle this.<br />• Small cubes of potato or cucumber cooled in the refrigerator make ideal mini ice packs. Tell your child to place the cooled cube against the painful tooth. This may be a better option than oil of clove for younger children.<br />• Place a small amount of dried mint leaf around the painful tooth. Tell your child to spit every few minutes.<br />• A warm, damp towel or an ice pack applied to the jaw line on the affected side may help your child's tooth ache as well.<br />• Salt water mouthwash is good for treating infections, ulcers and numerous other mouth conditions. Mix about 1 tsp. of table salt into a glass of warm water and have your child rinse his mouth with the solution. Repeat every few hours. Supervise younger children to ensure they don't swallow the salt water.<br />• Distract your child from the pain. Let him curl up in a comfy chair while you read him a story or allow him to watch a favorite video. You can play board games with him or listen to music while waiting for your dental appointment.Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-67979839255349411752010-05-18T15:21:00.001+01:002010-05-18T15:21:39.909+01:00Please dont pull your own teeth out....read why..Toothache can be a nightmare. So people do try and pull out their own tooth by applying their own techniques. Just to get relief from this throbbing pain, they do not mind pulling their tooth. Sometimes the pain is so unbearable that you cannot think of anything other than trying ways to reduce this pain. Sometimes the cavity is so bad that any amount of medicines would not help in giving relief to the tooth. Tooth problems have existed since man has been there. Pliers were used in the good olden days to extract tooth. In the olden days, there were no tranquilizers. So people used to get drunk so much that they would forget the pain and then the tooth would be pulled out. In case you venture out on pulling out the tooth on your own, then it is for sure that you would definitely experience some amount of pain and discomfort.<br />It is not always possible to pull one’s own teeth. Baby teeth can be pulled out, in case it moves a little. But certain times, we are not quite sure whether the tooth which is shaking is due to an abscess or something else. When you are unsure, heed for a dentist.<br />Another instance where you could just pull out the tooth is when one is suffering from a severe gum disease. The socket of the tooth becomes so loose and flimsy that even without any effort; your tooth would become loose and just fall off. But in case the infection is so severe, that you experience unbearable pain even on merely touching the tooth, do not play mischief with it. In case you manage to shake it, there are chances that you are not able to pull out the entire tooth, only a portion of the tooth comes out in your hand. For clearing the remaining portion, you would not have to go to a dentist.<br />It is not always likely that you just hold the loose tooth with pliers and rip it off. It would result in more damage than good. One need to appreciate teeth are fragile and delicate and they need to be handled with care. Handling your tooth with cutting pliers is definitely not a wise option. It would also lead to other mouth infections. It is advised that one does not deal with abscesses. You need to go to a dentist immediately to sort out the problems. The dentist would give you some antibiotics which could help in healing the wound.<br />It is advised that one does not wait till the tooth problem becomes so grave that you have to rush to the dentist. Teething problems should be taken care of immediately. Never venture into pulling off your tooth on your own. It would lead to more problems. Your dentist would do a clean job and you would not experience any pain or discomfort. He would numb the infected area with injections and then rip off the tooth. Antibiotics would also be prescribed by healing the infected area of the tooth. In case you manage to pull out the tooth by any chance, you would still have to go to the dentist.Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-34817678727003626672010-05-14T16:46:00.001+01:002010-05-14T16:47:17.644+01:00Remedies I think you could avoid...ouch!!!!‘I told you so’ is not the thing to say to a victim of toothache for they will already have perceived the point of oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist and all they will wish is for the pain to be removed. Toothache appears to occur most frequently at night or during the holiday period, making the need for an instant panacea of paramount importance.<br /><br />Sweets, sugary foods and fizzy drinks are appallingly detrimental to the care of teeth and gums. The acid and sugar combine to make the noxious plaque in which bacteria can fester and cause gum disease and tooth decay. A good diet from birth with the correct balance of vitamins and minerals in necessary for the development of strong teeth but even with the best possible advantages regular visits to the dentist are essential and so is regular cleaning of the teeth after each meal. Contrary to popular belief an apple is no substitute for this routine, so if you cannot clean you teeth after meals buy one of the special chewing gums which dentists recommend as being better than nothing. Use dental flos and toothpicks (and use them gently) to remove small particles of food from between the teeth – this will do much to ensure healthy gums.<br /><br />At one time toothbrushes and toothpaste were unheard of and the bark or twigs of shrubs were used with pains taking care to keep the teeth free of detritus. The end of the stick was chewed and softened until frayed and carefully infiltrated into every crevice in the mouth. Elder wood twigs were most commonly used in the british Isles but most countries throughout the world had their own favourites.<br /><br />Considering that years ago the victim of toothache probably had to live with it until the tooth rotted in his head (the alternatives being too awful to contemplate), a great deal of thought was given to the best ways of preventing this happening. Appealing to Divine intervention was obviously thought the best method for the most powerful talisman one could carry around was the double jaw bone of a very ancient haddockproving no doubt that you were a good Christian, knew of the haddock’s Biblical connections and had no right to suffer the purgatory of toothache. Another merry thought was a religious script proclaiming one’s desire to lead a good, toothache-free life, and this was carried around the neck for double indemnity. Rabbit’s or sheep’s teeth were also carried in a small leather bag near the throat or failing either of these amulets a hedgehog’s skull or double hazelnut which does not look unlike a large double tooth – were guarantee that should toothache strike the pain would be transferred to the charm. Another ancient rhyme suggests that one should chew the first fresh fern of the year as insurance against toothache and of this one would be guaranteed as it would have probably caused death instead.<br /><br />It is interesting to note that although the majorit of hare-brained superstitions were practiced by the wealthy as well as the lowly it was the country folk who were the ones to employ sensible practices to keep their mouths healthy. They used elder toothpicks the elder vinegar as a mouthwash, they strengthened their gums by rubbing them with blackthorn or sage leaf and they made a variety or kitchen powders using soot, salt, charcoal, burnt bread or rye meal and herbs to cleanse and whiten the teeth at the same time as they stimulated the gums and disinfected the mouth.Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-63615564488001358622010-03-25T11:58:00.002+00:002010-03-25T12:01:19.477+00:00Wow..so long..Its been a long time since I updated my blog so my apologies to everyone, Its all been quiet on the toothache front (thank god), but I know that people are still suffering out there so I am gonna make it my mission to promote this blog and hope that we can give some good advice to ease the pain. First check out my facebook group there are nearly 400 members now and some good tips are starting to appear.<br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=16175606325Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-49718523986693281802009-05-15T19:11:00.002+01:002009-05-15T19:22:22.625+01:00How can this possibly hurt so much?We know the familiar throbbing feeling that starts as a mildly irritating pain. We take a couple of paracetamols just to take the edge of, but we know that this is just the beginning of untold misery. The paracetamols wear off and the pain seems slighly worse. thats when we raid the pill cabinet to see if you have any ibuprofen left over from the last time this took over your life. Luckily you will probably find a couple and perhaps take them just before you go to bed hoping you will wake up in the morning and the pain has miraculously gone. You do wake up but it 3.43 a.m with the most terrible awful pain and you have taken the last ibuprofens, so its time for alternative pain relief, gargling with ice water takes it off for a few seconds so thats no god damn use..you contemplate overdosing on paracetamols because in your pain addled mind it would be easier that way! luckily you have some clove oil in your cupboard that is 4 years old, you know that you probably should'nt use it but you do anyway. You sit there wondering if tesco is still open and if it is do they sell pliers because you are getting to the stage now where anything would do including pulling the fucking thing out of your head. You ring NHS direct and pretend you have chest pains just so they will get you into an emergency dentist. If this sounds like you then you are not alone, no honestly you are not....Welcome to the world of toothacheToohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-86189381270854041092009-05-15T13:50:00.002+01:002009-05-15T13:54:09.899+01:00Open to allAlthough I have always wanted this to be primarily a toothache pian prevention site, I have come to realise that limits my blog readership a little bit. I have no desire to become famous or rich doing this blog. My aim is and has always been for people to have somewhere to air there experiences of dental problems. I now want people who read this to be as honest as open as they can about any health fears they may have, between us all we can create a community that gives proper answers to questions we may be afraid to ask our dentist or doctor.Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-24556903001383382632009-05-07T12:38:00.002+01:002009-05-07T12:45:02.864+01:00FacebookI have now set up a facebook group to see how many different suggestions and techniques I can get for help with toothache. I have over 140 members and it is quite slow to get going. I see peoples updates everyday complaining of toothache so I send them the link to my page and then nothing!! I expect them to share the agony with all us other members. Am I expecting too much? When I get toothache I read and became a member of about a dozen health forums just to complain bitterly about the injustice of me getting toothache. Needless to say some of the replies were sympathetic and some were not. Anyway for people reading my blog who are intrigued to see my facebook page just type 'I hate toothache' in the facebook search engine and join my group, what I would dearly like to happen is that if anyone does join directly from my blog please leave a post to say you have done so. It would be interesting to see the results..Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-16487532920592832482008-08-17T13:23:00.000+01:002008-08-17T13:25:16.520+01:00some more useful tipsWell, I know this has nothing to do with technology, but I thought I’d share some tips I’ve learned in the past 2 days. <br /><br />My first tip won’t ease your pain, but it will save you some. I’ve seen it on forums that you should put aspirin on the tooth where it hurts and hold it there. I mean this is just stupid. Aspirin doesn’t ease your pain like numbing sprays. It is meant to be ingested and works in your bloodstream. If you hold aspirin to the inflammation, you will however get a cool aspirin burn, next to which your toothache will be of secondary importance. Whatever you do, swallow the aspirin, don’t rub it on.<br /><br />The single most helpful thing I did, which was almost the only thing that could ease my pain was salt water. And I don’t mean go to the ocean salt water (although that’s ok too), I mean the almost as much salt as water type, truly disgusting stuff. Just sip some in your mouth (try not to vomit, you’ll get used to it after the 30th time you do this) and rinse it around where it hurts. My pain could not be relieved by the medication, but salt water in 90% of the cases completely dissolved the pain. As you would guess there is a downside. In the better cases I needed to do this every 20 minutes, but sometimes I needed to repeat every 5 minutes. Near the end, my experience was that neither the medication nor the salt helped, but if I took the medication the pain remained, but the salt water could ease it. Go figure. Apparently there is no danger to this, although I am no doctor, but believe me, it is not pleasant. Sure beats the pain though. Oh, and yes, it does sting your mouth and tongue, just rinse with water afterward.<br /><br /><br /><br />The third tip is also a prevention type tip. Whatever you do, don’t pick at it. Sometimes its tempting, because a nudge here and there with maybe moves your tooth in such a way that the pain will be better. No it won’t. You could cause an inflammatory reaction which is very, very painful. Rinsing is fine, but don’t touch or try to move it ever.Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-17961410977771570352008-07-23T12:20:00.001+01:002008-07-23T12:20:55.403+01:00Abcess DefinitionWhat is a dental abscess?<br /><br />An abscess is a collection of pus. Pus is a thick fluid that usually contains white blood cells, dead tissue and bacteria (germs). The usual cause of an abscess is an infection with bacteria.<br /><br />A dental abscess is a localised collection of pus in a tooth, or in nearby structures. They are classified into two main types:<br />Periapical abscess<br /><br />This type of abscess starts in the dental pulp (centre of the tooth). This is the most common type. This type of abscess usually develops as a complication of tooth decay (caries). Dental decay is very common and erodes (damages and breaks down) the protective layers of the tooth (the enamel and dentine). The damage to the tooth allows bacteria to invade the pulp to cause an infection.<br /><br />An infection in the pulp can progress to form an abscess. Sometimes a periapical abscess develops if the nerve to the tooth 'dies' for any reason. For example, from injury. The 'dead' tissue inside a tooth is more prone to infection.<br />Periodontal abscess<br /><br />This type of abscess starts in the supporting structures of the teeth such as the periodontium which is between the tooth and the gum. It most commonly develops as a complication of gum disease (periodontal disease) which is infection or inflammation of the tissues that surround the teeth. Gum disease often causes the gum to become slightly detached from the tooth. This causes 'pockets' to form which may get filled with bacteria and progress to form an abscess. A periodontal abscess may also develop as a complication of injury to the gums or periodontium. A periodontal abscess is sometimes called a 'gum boil' as the abscess causes a swelling to develop next to a tooth.<br />What are the symptoms of a dental abscess?<br /><br />Symptoms typically include one or more of the following:<br /><br /> * Pain (toothache) which can quickly become worse. It can be severe and throbbing.<br /> * Swelling of the gum which can be tender.<br /> * Swelling of the face. The skin over an abscess may become red and inflamed.<br /> * The affected tooth may become tender to touch, and may even become loose.<br /> * High temperature (fever) and feeling generally unwell.<br /> * In severe cases there may be spasm of the jaw muscles with difficulty swallowing and/or breathing.Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202667565620869279.post-80701396400100872292008-07-18T14:55:00.000+01:002008-07-18T14:57:45.885+01:00Interesting articleI found this article in the advertiser it sums up the state of dentistry in the united kingdom.<br /><br />A MUM ripped her own tooth out with her fingernails because she couldn't get to see a dentist.<br /><br />Susannah Houghton, 39, from Radcliffe is one of a growing number of people resorting to DIY dentistry because of a severe shortage of NHS services.<br /><br />The mother-of-four was in so much pain at the weekend that she couldn't eat, sleep or talk properly and contacted her local out-of-hours service.<br /><br />But she says staff told her they couldn't help until she had been in pain for 48 hours. By that evening the pain had became so unbearable that she pulled out her broken tooth herself.<br /><br />Mrs Houghton was given antibiotics after returning to the emergency care centre on Sunday and had to have further treatment to remove the root of her tooth.<br /><br />She said: "The pain was so bad it was driving me mad.<br /><br />"I wanted to bang my head against the wall- anything to distract me from the pain - I've had four children and I've never experienced anything like this.<br /><br />"I begged them to help me, but when they wouldn't I had to do something to help myself.<br /><br />"I knew there was a chance I could cause an infection or have complications but the pain put those fears to the back of my mind.<br /><br />"I know I'm not the only person to be driven to this, there is something very wrong with a system which leaves you in pain and without help."<br /><br />A spokeswoman for Bury Primary Care Trust (PCT) said: "Out of hours Emergency Dental services are commissioned from NHS Direct and clinical sessions are provided over the weekend at the Dental Access Centre, based at Parsons Lane, Bury.<br /><br />"The dentist on duty uses clinical guidelines to assess the severity of the dental problem and makes a judgement as to the appropriate course of action to take in these circumstances."<br /><br />The case comes as figures reveal that health bosses have failed to provide any extra services to combat the shortage of dentists despite patients making many urgent calls for action more than six months ago.<br /><br />The local health watchdog found in April that people who couldn't get an NHS dentist for themselves or their children were going without because they couldn't afford to pay for private care.<br /><br />A survey of 240 people found some were travelling across the region for care with one man told to travel to Chester for an emergency appointment.<br /><br />Another person with painful toothache was told they would have to wait two weeks for an appointment.<br /><br />A recent report revealed almost a third of people in the north west are not registered with an NHS dentist.<br /><br />And 40 per cent questioned in the survey - the biggest of its kind into dental care - said they have been forced to leave an NHS practice because it went private.Toohache agonieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202198563656202426noreply@blogger.com3
